Has there ever been a country music star as iconic asDolly Parton?
The legendary figure is in her seventies and still going strong.
“That was my dream to be a member.
But I’ve been actually doing the Opry … sixty years because I was on when I was 13.
It was amazing because my uncle Bill Owens used to take me back and forth to Nashville.
That was when Johnny Cash was first on the scene.”
Parton revealed that she had a massive crush on the influential singer.
“He was the sexiest thing I’d ever seen,” she gushed.
“I was 13 years old.
And I was looking at him, and I was feeling all these things that you feel!
That’s the first time I really understood what sex appeal really was.
And I just really fell into a burnin' ‘Ring of Fire’!
But I loved him.”
