Dolly-Parton
Dolly Parton, born Jan. 19, 1946, in Locust Ridge Tenn. to 12 hungry children that would be raised together eventually, learned very early how to get out of her difficulties by using her rich and imaginative imagination. Before she learned to read and write Dolly Parton had already begun to compose her own songs. The first time she picked up a guitar was when she was 8 and began singing on a Knoxville Tenn radio station at the age of eleven. Her first album was recorded in the same calendar year with Gold Band Records, a small independent label. As a student in high school she established herself in the local community, yet she yearned for an even bigger stage. In 1964, the day after her high school graduation the singer moved to Nashville. Dumb Blonde, Something Fishy and Dumb Blonde both charted on Monument Records in 1967. In the year 1967, Porter Wagoner was looking for a new girl singer for his syndicated television show. Parton joined Grand Ole Opry 1969 after having signed with RCA Records. Parton left the show however, in 1974 due to her solo albums such as Joshua Coat Of Many Colors and Jolene beat out their collaborative albums. Parton's hit song, I'll Never Have Love for You (for Wagoner), hit the top of the. #1 spot following their broke up. The first time it made it to number 1 was in 1974.
