Carroll Baker was born on March 4th, 1949 in Bridgewater, NS and grew up in Port Medway a small picturesque fishing village on Nova Scotia's South West Shore.

She was the youngest of six children born to Gordon and Iverna Baker. She had five siblings; three brothers: Fordan, Truman and Willis, and two sisters: Barbara and Rosemary.

Her family was not unlike other families in the small fishing village, getting by with just the basics of life, not being able to afford unnecessary things. Their one indulgence was a television set. The family would gather around and watch special shows together.

Early life

Baker was born in Port Medway, Nova Scotia. Baker was surrounded by music as a little girl but she objected when her musical family launched into their repertoire of country songs. She preferred rock 'n' roll. She even objected when her father, a fiddler with many accomplishments, said to her "one day, you'll love country music." She doubted it. Growing up in a small town in Nova Scotia, Baker was immediately drawn to singing and making music with her friends and get into some occasional trouble as she states "there was nothing to do, except get into trouble, and we did our share of that too." She made her first appearance singing in her local church.

During her teen years, she was practicing regularly and singing for her church on Sundays. "I worked every church in town, the Anglican church in the morning, the Baptist church in the afternoon and the Pentecostal at night," she said. Port Med
