Crushing
Big fans of Dolly Parton will likely know this already, though we still want to mention it anyway. Johnny Cash was a huge influence for Dolly Parton. Aside from serving as her first crush, he gave her some great advice about launching a music career. This was how she talked about the moment that proved to be a turning point for her: “I was sitting in the audience and that’s when I first knew about sex appeal…he had this tick when he moved his shoulder…and it was still sexy. It still got to me.”

Even when she was just a young girl, Dolly Parton knew that she was meant for fame and stardom. When she was 13 years old, she recorded “Puppy Love.” However, the moment that truly set her up for success was her performance at the Grand Ole Opry where she was introduced to Johnny Cash backstage.
