This week in 1959 Dolly Parton releases her first single 'Puppy Love'

This week in 1959, at just age 13, Dolly Parton releases her first single 'Puppy Love'.

The first single from Dolly Parton is a rockabilly-style ditty that finds the 13-year-old Tennessee native in "puppy love" with a boy who doesn't always treat her right.

She wrote the song two years earlier, at age 11, with the help of her uncle Bill Owens, a country musician and songwriter. They collaborated again on the 1966 hit "Put It Off Until Tomorrow," among other tunes.

How young does she sound!
