Dolly-Parton
Dolly Parton escaped the struggles that shaped her life at an early age through her imaginative and creative imagination. Before she could read and write she had already composed her own songs. After getting her first instrument at age 8, she started 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 popular in the local scene while she was at high school, her ambitions were bigger. On the very day she graduated from the high school in 1964. Dumb Blonde, Something Fishy and Dumb Blonde both charted on Monument Records in 1967. Around this time, Porter Wagoner was looking for an actress to sing for the show he had syndicated to television. Parton was a part of the Grand Ole Opry 1969 after signing in 1969 with RCA Records. In 1974, she resigned from Wagoner's show due to the commercial success of her singles like Joshua Coats of Many Colors or Jolene was surpassing their joint albums. The two split in 1974, Parton wrote the song I Will Always Love You for Wagoner and it climbed to the top spot at No. It was the first time a single hit the top spot.
