Dolly-Parton
Dolly Parton, who was born in Locust Ridge Tenn. on Jan. 19. 1946, into a low-income family, with twelve kids at one point, realized that she could get away from suffering through her vivid imagination. Even before learning to read or write and compose herself songs. After getting her first guitar at the age 8, she started performing on radio stations in Knoxville in Tennessee. Gold Band Records is a small, independent label. Although she was in school, she had established a name for herself on the local scene. But her dream was to to make music on a larger scale. On the 14th of March, 1964, after her high school graduation, she relocated to Nashville. Her first charting hits with Monument Records included Dumb Blonde and Something Fishy both in 1967. Porter Wagoner began looking for new female vocalists for his syndicated television program at around the same time. Parton got her first gig in 1967 and signed by RCA Records by 1968, she joined the Grand Ole Opry. The year 1974 was the first that she opted to walk away from Wagoner's show because the success of her own solo records such as Joshua Coat, Many Colors, and Jolene had outstripped their collaborative efforts. Parton's hit song, I'll Never Love You (for Wagoner), hit the top of the. number 1 position after the duo broke up. #1 for the first time in 1974.
