Dolly-Parton

Born on Jan. 19 1946 in Locust Ridge Tenn into a low-income family that would ultimately include 12 children Dolly Parton learned early to escape the hardships of life by using her vivid and broad imagination. Before she could write or read, she was making up her own songs. She got her first guitar when she was just 8 years old and started singing at an Knoxville Tenn radio station at age eleven. In the same year, she released her debut album for Gold Band Records an independent small label. In high school, she made her name locally but dreamed about an even bigger stage. The day after she graduated in 1964, she relocated to Nashville. Dumb Blonde was her first album to be charted at the top of Monument Records. Porter Wagoner had been looking for a female singer to perform on his show syndicated by him in the years prior to this. Parton began her career in 1967 and signed by RCA Records by 1968, she joined the Grand Ole Opry. Parton quit the Wagoner's band in 1974 when her solo songs such as Joshua Coat of Many Colors and Jolene outsold the collaborations. The song by Parton, I Will Never Have Love for You (for Wagoner), was able to reach the No. #1 spot following their split. The first time it made it to No. 1 was 1974.
