Dolly-Parton

Dolly Parton escaped the struggles that shaped her life at an early age through her imaginative and creative imagination. Before she learned to read or write, Dolly Parton was creating her own music. Once she had her first guitar at age of eight, she started performing on radio stations in Knoxville, Tennessee. The same year, Gold Band Records was a tiny independent record label. Although she was studying, she already made a name of herself in the local music scene. However, her goal was to to perform at a much bigger scale. After she finished her high school, in 1964 she moved to Nashville. Dumb Blonde (1967) and Something Fishy (1968) were her first two charting albums for Monument Records. The syndicated television show of Porter Wagoner was in need of the services of a new singer by this point. Parton signed with RCA Records and then joined the Grand Ole Opry. She accepted her job in 1967. She quit Wagoner's act in 1974 after her own hits such as Joshua Coat of Many Colors & Jolene oversold her collaborations. The two split in 1974, Parton wrote the song I Will Always Love You for Wagoner and it climbed to Number. This was the first time that a song hit the top spot.
