Dolly-Parton
born on January. 19 1946 in Locust Ridge Tenn into a poverty-stricken family which would later have 12 children. Dolly Parton learned early to be free from life's hardships through her vivid and far-ranging imagination. Prior to learning how to read and compose the first song she ever composed, she was composing her own music. The first time she picked up a guitar was when she was just 8 years old and started singing at the Knoxville Tenn radio station at the age of 11. In the same year, she recorded her debut recording for Gold Band Records a tiny independent label. Even though she was still at school, she already made a name of herself in the local music scene. But her dream was to become more well-known. She moved to Nashville shortly after her graduation in 1964. The first charting record she had on Monument Records included Dumb Blonde and Something Fishy both in 1967. Porter Wagoner, a syndicated TV show host was at the time looking for a woman to sing on his show. Parton was hired in 1966, joined RCA Records in 1968, and the Grand Ole Opry was founded in the year 1969. She left the show after 1974 because her solo songs like Joshua Coat of Many Colors and Jolene began charting the collaborations they had with each other. Parton sang I Will Always Love You for Wagoner after their breakup. It reached No. 1 for the first time in 1974.
