Dolly-Parton
Dolly Parton, born Jan. 19th, 1946 in Locust Ridge Tenn. to 12 children from a poor family children that would be raised together eventually, learned very early on how to conquer of difficulties by using her rich and vivid imagination. Before learning how to read and write Dolly Parton had already begun to compose her own music. Her first guitar was given to her at the age of eighteen. She began singing in the Knoxville Tenn station by the age of eleven. In the following year, she made her first album with Gold Band Records an independent small label. Even though she was still studying, she established a name for herself on the local scene. But her dream was to to play on a larger scale. After graduating from the high school in 1964, she moved immediately to Nashville. Dumb Blonde (both 1967) and Something Fishy were among her first Monument Records chart-topping records. Porter Wagoner's syndicated tv show needed a new singer at around this point. Parton took the offer in 1967 signed with RCA Records in 1968 and joined in the Grand Ole Opry in 1969. The show was cancelled by Wagoner, however, in 1974 because her solo albums like Joshua Coat Of Many Colors and Jolene beat out their collaborative albums. Parton recorded "I Will Always Love You" to Wagoner just after the pair split. The track reached the top spot at No. The first time in 1974.
