Dolly-Parton

born on January. 19th, 1946, on the 19th of January 1946 in Locust Ridge Tenn into a poor family that would eventually have 12 children. Dolly Parton learned early to be free from life's hardships through her vivid and far-ranging imagination. Before she could write and read, she began making up her own songs. When she was 8, she got the first electric guitar she owned and started singing at an Knoxville Tenn Radio Station. In the same year when she began recording her debut album Gold Band Records an independent small-scale label. As a student in high school, she made her name locally but longed to be on a bigger stage. When she graduated from high school in 1964, she swiftly made the move to Nashville. Dumb Blonde, Something Fishy and Dumb Blonde both charted on Monument Records in 1967. Porter Wagoner had been looking for female performers to be a part of his syndicated show at this point. Parton accepted the job in 1967 and signed with RCA Records in 1968 and was a part of The Grand Ole Opry in 1969. The show ended after 1974 because her solo songs like Joshua Coat of Many Colors and Jolene had begun charting their collaborative efforts. Parton wrote I Will Always Love You in honor of Wagoner following their split. It reached No. 1 for the very first time in 1974.
