'Puppy Love' - Dolly Parton's First Single

‘Puppy Love’ becomes Dolly’s first single at age 13


‘Puppy Love,’ written by Dolly at age 11, along with her Uncle Bill Owens, was released by Goldband Records in 1959. The lyrics showcase Dolly’s ability, even at a young age, to write relatable songs. In this upbeat song, she sings about the hot and cold emotions of young love. “Girl Left Alone” written by Dolly, her Aunt Dorothy Jo Owens and Uncle Bill Owens appeared on side B.

Dolly and her grandmother, Rena Owens took a 30-hour bus trip to the recording studio in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Remembering the fateful journey, Dolly said,

“I don’t think I’ll ever forget the way the inside of that bus smelled. It was a combination of diesel fuel, Naugahyde, and people who were going places.”
