Dolly Parton, born Jan. 19, 1946 in Locust Ridge Tenn. to a family of 12 poor kids who would grow with them eventually. She learned young how to overcome of her difficulties through her vibrant and vibrant imagination. The songs she wrote were composed before she knew how to write and read. After getting her first instrument at age of 8, she began to play on local radio stations from Knoxville, Tennessee. That same year she made her debut recording for Gold Band Records a tiny independent label. While she was a local star while in high school, her ambitions were bigger. The year 1964 was the day that followed her graduation from high school, she relocated to Nashville. Dumb Blonde (both 1967) and Something Fishy were among her first Monument Records chart-topping records. Porter Wagoner had been looking for a female singer to perform on his show syndicated by him at this point. Parton was hired in 1967, signed with RCA Records by 1968, and was a part of the Grand Ole Opry. But she resigned from the show in 1974 as her solo albums like Joshua Coat of Many Colors and Jolene were charting collaborations with them. Following their breakup, Parton wrote the song I Will Always Love You for Wagoner and it debuted at the top spot at No. This was the first time a song was able to reach No.
