Dolly-Parton
Dolly Parton escaped the struggles of her life early on by using her creative and imaginative imagination. Before she was able to write or read, she was making up her own music. The guitar that she first received was presented by her mother when she was eight. She started singing at an Knoxville Tenn station by the age of 11. The same the year that Gold Band Records was a tiny independent record label. The singer established a name on the local circuit while in high school, however she dreamed of a bigger stage. After graduating high school in 1964, she immediately moved to Nashville. Dumb Blonde (1967) and Something Fishy (1968) were the first two albums to chart on Monument Records. Porter Wagoner, a syndicated TV show host in the late '60s, was looking for a singer on his show. Parton took the job in the year 1966. She joined RCA Records in 1968, and then the Grand Ole Opry was founded in the year 1969. It was not 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. The two split in 1974, Parton wrote the song I Will Always Love You for Wagoner and it reached No. #1 for the first time in 1974.
