THERE WERE 12 OF THEM IN ALL BUT ONLY A FEW HOURS AFTER HE WAS BORN LARRY DIED THE CAUSE IS UNKNOWN. DOLLY'S PARENTS WERE VERY YOUNG WHEN THEY GOT MARRIED HER MOM,AVIE LEE, WAS ONLY 15 AND HER FATHER WAS ONLY 17. WHEN DOLLY WAS A CHILD THEY DIDNT HAVE VERY MUCH MONEY, THEY WERE SO LOW ON MONEY THAT THEY COULDN'T EVEN BUY A CAR TO GET FROM HERE TO THERE THEY EITHER HAD TO WALK OR JUST NOT GO.DOLLY HAD ALWAYS DREAMED OF BECOMING A SINGER BUT SHE NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD ACCUALLY COME TRUE BUT BOY WAS SHE WRONG,SHE IS KNOWN WORLD WIDE FOR HER SINGING TALENTS. AS A CHLD HER MOTHER WOULD ALWAYS SAY THAT SHE HAD A SINGING VOICE BEFORE SHE COULD EVEN TALK.DOLLY WOULD SING AT HER UNCLE'S BACKWOOD CHURCH,ON 4:00 a.m. PROGRAMS, AND THEN AFTER SOMEONE ACCUALLE HEARD HER SING SHE GOT OT SING AT THE GRAND OLE OPRY IN NASHVILLE, DOLLY WAS HEADING FOR THE HEIGHTS OF COUNTRY MUSIC STARDOM AND ACCUALLY MADE IT SHE IS KNMOWN WORLD WIDE FOR HER SINGING, I JUST WISH THAT SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD HAPPEN TO ME.
