Nacida el 19 de enero de 1946 en el condado de Sevier, Tennessee, Dolly Rebecca Parton creció en una familia humilde, siendo una de doce hijos, en una pequeña casa de una sola habitación enclavada en las Montañas Humeantes del este de Tennessee. A lo largo de su carrera, Dolly se inspiró constantemente en su profundo aprecio y amor por el lugar y la gente que la vio crecer. Vivió una infancia sencilla, persiguiendo la belleza de las mariposas, escuchando el folclore de los Apalaches y antiguas baladas transmitidas por sus familiares. Reunidos alrededor de la radio familiar para escuchar la transmisión del Grand Ole Opry, Dolly y sus hermanos disfrutaban haciendo música juntos. Desde temprana edad, el talento musical de Dolly fue evidente y alentado por su madre, quien componía canciones sencillas con su guitarra que parecían surgir del espíritu mismo de las Montañas Humeantes. Dolly notó la atención que su música recibía de todos a su alrededor y supo entonces que estaba destinada a compartir su corazón y su talento con el mundo. Comenzó a escribir canciones a los cinco años; la primera trataba sobre una muñeca de mazorca de maíz que su madre le hizo, llamada "Little Tiny Tasseltop". Aunque en ese entonces no sabía leer ni escribir, su madre anotaba la letra mientras la pequeña Dolly, que apenas le llegaba a la rodilla, la cantaba.
