Dolly-Parton
Dolly Parton, who was born in Locust Ridge Tenn. on the 19th of January. 19. 1946, into a poor family with 12 kids at one point, realized that she was able to escape suffering through her vivid imagination. Even before learning to read or write and compose herself songs. The first time she picked up a guitar was when she was 8 and began singing on the Knoxville Tenn radio station at age 11. The same year she released her first record on Gold Band Records a tiny independent label. The singer established a name for herself locally while still in high school but she dreamed of a bigger stage. After graduating high school in 1964, she moved immediately to Nashville. Dumb Blonde (both 1967) as well as Something Fishy were among her first Monument Records chart-topping records. Porter Wagoner had been looking for a female vocalist to join his syndicated show from the beginning. Parton was a part of the Grand Ole Opry 1969 after having signed in 1969 with RCA Records. The show was cancelled by Wagoner, however, in 1974 due to her albums on her own like Joshua Coat Of Many Colors and Jolene beat out their collaborative albums. The two split in 1974, Parton wrote the song I Will Always Love You for Wagoner and it reached No. In 1974, Parton's song I Will Always Love You climbed to No.
