Background: Born on the 19th January 1946 in Sevierville, Tennessee, Dolly Parton is one of the most well known country singer-songwriters. She came from a very poor background with a family of twelve children. One of her most famous songs, Coat of Many Colours’ was about her family’s lack of money.
Sevierville: Sevierville is a small town in Tennessee, America. The latitude is 35.751N and the longitude is 83.693W. Sevierville is a very hilly town as it is located in a small area between the Great Smokies and the Tennessee Valley. The Great Smoky National Park is located ten miles from Sevierville and is where Sevierville gets most of its tourism from.
