Dolly-Parton
Dolly Parton, who was born in Locust Ridge Tenn. on January. 19. 1946 to a low-income family, with twelve kids at one point, realized that she could escape suffering through her vivid imagination. Before she learned to read and write she had already composed the songs she wrote herself. Her first guitar purchase came when she was just 8 years old and started singing at an Knoxville Tenn radio station at age 11. The first album she recorded was in the same calendar year with Gold Band Records, a small label that was an independent. Even though she became popular in the local scene while she was at the high school years, her goals were much bigger. After graduating from high school in 1964 she moved straight to Nashville. Dumb Blonde, Something Fishy and Dumb Blonde both charted on Monument Records in 1967. Porter Wagoner began looking for new female vocalists for his syndicated television program at approximately the same as the time. Parton took the job in 1966. She then was signed to RCA Records in 1968, and then the Grand Ole Opry was founded in 1969. However she left Wagoner's show in 1974 when her solo albums like Joshua Coat of Many Colors and Jolene were charting collaborations with them. The two split in 1974, Parton wrote the song I Will Always Love You for Wagoner and it climbed to No. The first time it made it to the top spot was in 1974.
