Dolly-Parton
Dolly Parton, who was born in Locust Ridge Tenn. on Jan. 19. 1946 to a poor family with 12 kids eventually included, discovered early that she could escape the hardships of her life by using a creative mind. Before she learned to read and write Dolly Parton was composing her own songs. The guitar that she first received was presented to her when she turned eight. She began singing in a Knoxville Tenn station by the age of 11. In the that same year, Gold Band Records was a tiny independent record label. In high school, she made her name in the local community, yet she yearned for a larger stage. The day she was able to graduate from the high school in 1964. Dumb Blonde (both 1967) and Something Fishy were among her first Monument Records chart-topping records. Porter Wagoner began looking for new female vocalists for his syndicated television program at approximately the exact time. Parton was a part of the Grand Ole Opry 1969 after contracting to RCA Records. She quit Wagoner's act in 1974 after her own singles such as Joshua Coat of Many Colors and Jolene oversold her collaborations. Following their breakup, Parton wrote the song I Will Always Love You for Wagoner and it climbed to Number. The first time it made it to number 1 was in 1974.
