Dolly-Parton

Dolly Parton was born on the 19th of January 1946 located in Locust Ridge Tenn. She lived with 12 other children. She had a vivid imagination that was a great way to get away from the savage realities of daily life. Before she learned to write or read, she was creating her own music. As a young girl, she got her first electric guitar and started singing at a Knoxville Tenn Radio Station. The same year, she recorded her debut album for Gold Band Records an independent small-scale label. Despite being in school, she had already made a name of herself within the local community. Her goal was to become better known. After graduating high school in 1964, she swiftly made the move to Nashville. Her first charting records for Monument Records included Dumb Blonde and Something Fishy both in 1967. Porter Wagoner had been looking for a female vocalist to join his syndicated show from the beginning. Parton took the job in the year 1966. She 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. Following their breakup, Parton wrote the song I Will Always Love You for Wagoner and it made it to Number. 1 for the first time in 1974.
