Dolly-Parton
Dolly Parton, born Jan. 19, 1946 in Locust Ridge Tenn. to an unlucky family of twelve children that would be raised together eventually, learned very young the way to conquer of difficulties with her extraordinary and vivid imagination. Even before learning to write and read the first song she ever composed, she was composing her own music. In 8 years, she was playing her first guitar. At age 11, she began to sing on the local radio station in Knoxville, Tennessee. At the time, she also recorded her first album on Gold Band Records a tiny independent label. While she was studying, she had already made a name of herself locally. However, her goal was to become better acknowledged. Following her graduation in 1964 she moved to Nashville. Her first charting hits from Monument Records included Dumb Blonde and Something Fishy both in 1967. Porter Wagoner had been looking for a female performer to join his syndicated show until this point. Parton was offered the gig when she was signed in 1967 by RCA Records in 1968 and joined in the Grand Ole Opry in 1969. The show ended in 1974 as her solo songs like Joshua Coat of Many Colors and Jolene were out-charting their collaborations. Following their breakup, Parton wrote the song I Will Always Love You for Wagoner and it reached Number. The first time it reached Number 1 was in 1974.
