Moving to Nashville
When Dolly graduated from Sevier County High School in 1964, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee, the epicenter of country music. Although she had an amazing voice, she had a hard time starting out as a singer. So, she and her uncle, Bill Owns, wrote songs for other singers at that time. They even had two songs that made the top 10 in the music charts!
