Dolly-Parton
Dolly Parton, who was born in Locust Ridge Tenn. on Jan. 19. 1946, into a humble family of 12 children at one point, realized that she was able to escape her hardships through a vivid imagination. Songs were written by her before she knew how to write or read. When she was 8, she got her first electric guitar. She started singing at the Knoxville Tenn Radio Station. In the same year, she recorded her first album with Gold Band Records an independent small-scale label. While she was an established local celebrity while at the high school years, her goals were greater. The day she was able to graduate from high school, in 1964. Dumb Blonde (both 1967) as well as Something Fishy were among her first Monument Records chart-topping records. Porter Wagoner began looking for new female vocalists for his TV show syndicated by a network at approximately the same as the time. Parton got her first gig in 1967 and signed by RCA Records by 1968, she joined the Grand Ole Opry. She quit Wagoner's act in 1974 when her solo singles like Joshua Coat of Many Colors & Jolene beat out the collaborations. Parton following the breakup of their collaboration with Wagoner, wrote I Will Always Love You and made it to Number. The first time it made it to the top spot was in 1974.
