Dolly-Parton

Dolly Parton escaped the struggles of her life early on thanks to her inventive and innovative imagination. Before she learned to write or read, she began to compose the songs she wrote herself. In the year she turned 8years old, she purchased her first electric guitar and began singing on a Knoxville Tenn Radio Station. That same year she made her first record on Gold Band Records a tiny independent label. The singer established a name on the local circuit while at high school, but always dreamed of having a bigger stage. After she finished her high school, in 1964, she relocated to Nashville. Dumb Blonde, Something Fishy and Dumb Blonde both charted on Monument Records in 1967. Porter Wagoner, a syndicated TV show host in the late '60s, was looking for a girl to sing on his show. Parton began her career in 1967 and signed by RCA Records by 1968, she joined the Grand Ole Opry. But she resigned from the show in 1974 when her solo songs like Joshua Coat of Many Colors and Jolene had begun charting their collaborative efforts. Following their breakup, Parton wrote the song I Will Always Love You for Wagoner and it debuted at the top spot at No. This was the first time that a song hit the top spot.
