In 2020, People magazine shared a clip of Parton welcoming her family on stage during her 1970s variety show, Dolly. The family sang a version of the religious hymn “In the Sweet By and By.” “When I got my own TV show I thought, ‘I’m most definitely going to have my family on before I bring all these big celebrities because they’re the stars to me,...
The eldest of all the 12 kids, Willadeene was like a second mother to the family. Later, she and sisters Cassie and Stella formed a gospel singing trio. But she put that aside for the pen, writing two family memoirs: In the Shadow of a Song: The Parton Family and Smoky Mountain Memories: Stories from the Hearts of the Parton Family. She’s also publ...
Stella got into the music business early, making her radio debut when she was just nine years old. She toured with sisters Cassie and Willadeene. Later, Stella pursued a solo career, beginning in 1967. Her 1975 single, “I Want to Hold You in My Dreams Tonight,” hit the Top 10 in the Billboard Country chart, which got her a major label deal.

The third member of the aforementioned gospel trio, Cassie never went on to pursue a solo career. She did perform in 1970 on The Porter Wagoner Show, which at one point helped to make Dolly a star. In 2013, she performed in the Dollywood show My People.

She even sang about these moments in the song “You Are My Christmas,” which she sang as a duet with Randy. Randy had several country songs in the 1970s and 1980s, i...
Unfortunately, Larry died just four days after he was born. In her biographical film, A Coat of Many Colors, Dolly is portrayed at nine years old singing to his grave.
The youngest brother, Floyd has been Dolly’s longtime songwriting partner. He helped pen the 1991 hit “Rockin’ Years,” which is on the album Eagle When She Flies. Floyd died in 2018 at 61 years old.
Freida was in a punk band in the 1980s. She also sang background vocals on some of Dolly’s LPs. Today, Freida is an ordained minister at her own wedding chapel in Sevierville, Tennessee.
Rachel is a now-retired singer and actress. She is also the youngest sister of Dolly—though that’s just by a few minutes since Freida and Rachel are twins. Rachel moved to Nashville to live with Dolly when she was just 13 (Dolly was 18). It was then she started to pursue a career, offering at times a hard rock sound. Later, she was a frequent perfo...
The three brothers never pursued entertainment and led relatively private lives. [RELATED: 9 of the Saddest Dolly Parton Songs That You Should Be Listening To]
