Dolly-Parton
Dolly Parton, who was born in Locust Ridge Tenn. on Jan. 19. 1946 to a humble family of 12 children at one point, realized that she could get away from suffering through her creative mind. Before she could write and read, she was making up her own songs. After 8 years of age, she got her first guitar. At age 11 she started singing at Knoxville Tenn's local radio station. Her first album was recorded within the same calendar year with Gold Band Records, a tiny independent label. Although she was at school, she already made a name of herself within the local arena. But her dream was to to play on a bigger size. The singer moved to Nashville following her graduation in 1964. Her first charting records on Monument Records included Dumb Blonde and Something Fishy both in 1967. Porter Wagoner began looking for female singers to join his syndicated television program at about the same time. Parton joined RCA Records and then joined the Grand Ole Opry. She was hired in the year 1967. In 1974, she quit Wagoner's show due to the commercial success of her solo songs like Joshua Coats Of Many Colors or Jolene was way ahead of their joint release. The two split in 1974, Parton wrote the song I Will Always Love You for Wagoner and it reached the top spot at No. #1 for the first time in 1974.
