Dolly-Parton
born on January. 19th, 1946, in Locust Ridge Tenn into a struggling family that would one day include 12 children Dolly Parton learned early to get away from the challenges of life thanks to her expansive and imaginative imagination. Even before learning to read and compose, she composed the music she composed herself. At the age of 8, she got her first guitar. At age 11, she began to sing on Knoxville Tenn's radio station. In the same year, she recorded her first record on Gold Band Records a tiny independent label. While she was in college, she already made a name of herself in the local music scene. However, her goal was to become more known. When she was graduating in 1964 she relocated to Nashville. The first charting record she had on Monument Records included Dumb Blonde and Something Fishy both in 1967. It was around this time that Porter Wagoner was looking for someone new to sing on his TV show syndicated by the network. Parton was appointed in the year 1967 and signed by RCA Records by 1968, and was a part of the Grand Ole Opry. However she left Wagoner's show in 1974 when her solo songs like Joshua Coat of Many Colors and Jolene were charting collaborations with them. The two split in 1974, Parton wrote the song I Will Always Love You for Wagoner and it reached number. #1 for the first time in 1974.
