Moving to Nashville
Dolly Parton left Sevier County High School in 1964. After her graduation, she decided to pack her things and move to Nashville. The city was then considered the center of country music. We all know that she has a fantastic voice, though she still had a difficult time in the beginning. During the start of her career, she wasn’t even singing as she was busy writing songs for other performers with her uncle, Bill Owns. The two worked together to write many songs, two of which landed in the top 10 charts.

She Gets a Record Deal
When you have the tremendous talent that Dolly did, it was only a matter of time before you landed a record deal. At 19 years old, Dolly was snapped up by Monument Records. However, it seemed like the company and Dolly did not agree on many important things. The studio wanted her to be a clean pop star with a teenage fan base. She made several singles for them, though none of these were successful.
