Gracing stages since she was 10, Dolly Parton packed her bags and moved to Nashville the day after graduating high school to pursue her dream of being a country music star.

Nearly 60 years after releasing her debut studio album, “Hello, I’m Dolly,” the 79-year-old singer-songwriter says she has no plans of slowing down anytime soon.
