Dolly-Parton
Dolly Parton, born Jan. 19, 1946 in Locust Ridge Tenn. to a family of 12 poor children that would be raised together eventually, learned very early how to get out of the difficulties she faced through her vibrant and imaginative imagination. Prior to learning how to read or write she wrote herself songs. When she got her first guitar at age of 8, she began to perform on local radio stations from Knoxville, Tennessee. Gold Band Records is a small label that is independent. In high school she was able to establish herself within the community, but her ambition was bigger. The singer moved to Nashville shortly after her graduation in 1964. The first charting record she had for Monument Records included Dumb Blonde and Something Fishy both in 1967. Porter Wagoner had been looking for a female singer to join his syndicated show at this point. Parton became a member of Grand Ole Opry 1969 after signing with RCA Records. In 1974, she resigned from Wagoner's Show because the success of her solo songs like Joshua Coats from Many Colors or Jolene was surpassing their joint albums. Parton's hit song, I'll Never Be Loved by You (for Wagoner), reached the No. 1 spot after they broke up. For the first time, in 1974.
