Crushing
Dolly’s real fans will know, but it is still worth repeating. Johnny Cash greatly influenced Dolly Parton. She had a crush on him and he advised her to continue pursuing a career in music. This was how she described her time with him: “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.”
