This was Dolly's first record, made when she was 13. Released on the Louisiana-based Goldband label in 1959, "Puppy Love" was written by Dolly at age 11. Because she was too young to sign a publishing contract, the song was credited to her uncle Bill Owens. The single received limited airplay but did not chart. (Photo: Sydney Keller/FOX 17 News)
