Dolly-Parton
Dolly Parton, who was born in Locust Ridge Tenn. on January. 19. 1946 into a very poor family with 12 kids at one point, realized that she could get away from the hardships of her life by using a vivid imagination. Songs were written by her before she knew how to write or read. She got her first guitar when she was 8 and began singing on the Knoxville Tenn radio station at the age of 11. She recorded her first album in the same calendar year with Gold Band Records, a small label that was an independent. As a student in high school, she made her name local, but longed for having a bigger stage. She relocated to Nashville shortly after her graduation in 1964. Dumb Blonde (1967) and Something Fishy (1968) were the first two albums to chart for Monument Records. Porter Wagoner's syndicated TV show was in need of the services of a new singer by this time. Parton was hired in the year 1966. She joined RCA Records in 1968, and the Grand Ole Opry was founded in 1969. Then, in 1974, she left The Wagoner's Show due to the popularity of her singles like Joshua Coats Of Many Colors or Jolene was way ahead of their joint release. The song by Parton, I Will Never Be Loved by You (for Wagoner), was able to reach the No. number 1 position after the duo broke up. The first time that a song hit the top spot.
