Dolly-Parton

Dolly Parton escaped the struggles that shaped her life at an early age by using her creative and imaginative imagination. The songs she wrote were composed before she was able to write and read. Once she had her first instrument at age 8, she started performing on radio stations in Knoxville in Tennessee. She recorded her first album during the same year on Gold Band Records, a small independent label. Her name was made for herself locally while still in high school, however she dreamed of a bigger stage. The day she graduated from high school, it was 1964. Dumb Blonde, Something Fishy and Dumb Blonde both charted on Monument Records in 1967. Porter Wagoner, a syndicated television show host in the late '60s, was looking for a singer for his program. Parton accepted the job in 1967 signed to RCA Records in 1968 and became a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 1969. In 1974, she resigned from Wagoner's Show because the success of her solo songs like Joshua Coats from Many Colors or Jolene was way ahead of their joint release. Parton, after the split of their collaboration with Wagoner was the one to write"I Will Never Love You and saw it climb to Number. This was the first time a single reached No.
