Dolly-Parton
Dolly Parton escaped the struggles that shaped her life at an early age by using her creative and imaginative imagination. Before she was able to write or read, she was making up her own songs. When she got her first instrument at age of 8, she began to play on radio stations in Knoxville, Tennessee. In the following time, Gold Band Records was a tiny independent record label. While she was in school, she had already made a name of herself in the local music scene. Her goal was to to perform at a much larger scale. The day after she graduated in 1964 she moved to Nashville. Dumb Blonde (1967) and Something Fishy (1968) were her two first charting albums from Monument Records. The syndicated television show of Porter Wagoner required a new singer at around this point. Parton was a part of the Grand Ole Opry 1969 after contracting with RCA Records. The year 1974 was the first that she opted to walk away from Wagoner's band because the popularity of her solo albums like Joshua Coat, Many Colors, and Jolene exceeded their collective efforts. Parton wrote I Will Always Love You for Wagoner following their split. It made it to No. 1. for the first time in 1974.
