Dolly-Parton
Dolly Parton was born on the 19th of January 1946 in Locust Ridge Tenn. She lived with 12 other children. Her vivid imagination allowed her to escape the pressures of daily life. Her songs were written before she was able to write and read. After getting her first guitar at the age 8, she started to play at radio stations in Knoxville, Tennessee. The following year, she made her first album with Gold Band Records an independent small label. As a student in high school, she made her name in the local community, yet she yearned for having a bigger stage. She moved to Nashville following her graduation in 1964. Dumb Blonde (both 1967) as well as Something Fishy were among her first Monument Records chart-topping records. Porter Wagoner had been looking for a female vocalist for his show that was syndicated at this point. Parton was hired in 1967, signed with RCA Records by 1968, she joined the Grand Ole Opry. Parton quit the Wagoner's band in 1974 when her solo singles like Joshua Coat of Many Colors & Jolene oversold her collaborations. The song by Parton, I Will Never Have Love for You (for Wagoner), was able to reach the No. 1 spot after they broke up. For the first time, in 1974.
