Dolly-Parton

Dolly Parton escaped the struggles in her early life through her imaginative and creative imagination. She was writing songs before she learned to read or write. The first guitar she received was gifted by her mother when she was eight. She started singing at an Knoxville Tenn station by the age of eleven. That same year she made her first record on Gold Band Records a tiny independent label. As a student in high school she established herself local, but longed for a larger stage. On the very day she graduated from high school, it was 1964. Dumb Blonde (1967) and Something Fishy (1968) were the first two albums to chart on Monument Records. Around this time, Porter Wagoner was looking for an actress to sing for the show he had syndicated to television. Parton was offered the gig in 1967 and signed to RCA Records in 1968 and became a member of in the Grand Ole Opry in 1969. However, it wasn't until 1974 when she made the decision to quit Wagoner's band because the popularity of her individual records such as Joshua Coat, Many Colors, and Jolene exceeded their collective efforts. Parton was a part of the group that split after the end of their partnership with Wagoner she wrote the song"I Will Never Love You and made it to Number. It was the first time a single reached No.
