Dolly-Parton
Dolly Parton escaped the struggles in her early life thanks to her inventive and innovative imagination. Before she learned to read and write she began to compose her own music. Once she had her first instrument at age of eight, she started to perform on local radio stations from Knoxville in Tennessee. That same year she made her first record on Gold Band Records a tiny independent label. As a student in high school, she made her name local, but longed for a larger stage. After graduating from high school in 1964 she immediately moved to Nashville. Dumb Blonde, Something Fishy and Dumb Blonde both charted on Monument Records in 1967. Porter Wagoner, a syndicated show on TV at the time, was in search for a female singer for his show. Parton accepted the role in the year 1966. She was signed to RCA Records in 1968, and then the Grand Ole Opry was founded in the year 1969. Parton left the show but in 1974, because her albums on her own like Joshua Coat Of Many Colors and Jolene exceeded the sales of their joint albums. After their split, Parton wrote the song I Will Always Love You for Wagoner and it reached the top spot at No. The first time it made it to No. 1 was 1974.
