Dolly-Parton

Dolly Parton escaped the struggles in her early life through her imaginative and creative imagination. Before she could write and read, she began to compose her own songs. When she got her first guitar at the age 8, she started to perform on radio stations in Knoxville in Tennessee. She recorded her first album in the same calendar year on Gold Band Records, a small label that was an independent. Her name was made in the local scene while in high school, however she always dreamed of having a bigger stage. The singer moved to Nashville the day after graduating in 1964. Dumb Blonde, Something Fishy and Dumb Blonde both charted on Monument Records in 1967. Porter Wagoner began looking for female singers to join his TV show syndicated by a network at around the same as the time. Parton joined RCA Records and then joined the Grand Ole Opry. She was hired in the year 1967. It was not until 1974 when she made the decision to quit Wagoner's program as the popularity of her solo albums like Joshua Coat, Many Colors, and Jolene exceeded their collective efforts. Following their breakup, Parton wrote the song I Will Always Love You for Wagoner and it debuted at No. It was the first time a song reached No.
