Dolly Parton is a country icon that needs no introduction. The singer-songwriter, 75, has a discography that just about everyone is familiar with, from “Jolene” to “Here You Come Again.” It comes as no surprise that she comes from a large musical family with siblings also in show biz.
The Grammy winner has 11 — yes, 11! — brothers and sisters, ones who have collaborated with her on many of her projects. Born in Locust Ridge, Tennessee near the Smoky Mountains, Dolly was born to Robert Lee Parton and Avie Lee Owens, the latter of which instilled a passion in music in all of her children.
Dolly is one of 12 children: Stella, 72, Willadeene, 81, Rachel, 62, Freida Estelle, 64, Robert Lee, 73, Cassie Nan, 70, David, 79, and Coy Denver, 78.
