Dolly Rebecca Parton

Dolly Rebecca Parton was created on the 19th of January 1946 in Pittman Center (Tennessee). She was born to Avie Lee Parton and Robert Lee Parton in Sevierville. Parton is a domestic worker and Parton is a farmer of tobacco. At the age of 12, she was already appearing on Knoxville TV. At 13 she was already recording for a small label as well as performing on the Grand Ole Opry. She relocated to Nashville in 1964 to begin her country music career following her graduation from high school. Carl Dean, a asphalt-paving business owner, was her first lover. They were married on May 30, 1966. Porter Wagoner saw her singing and arranged for her to perform on The Porter Wagoner Show (1961). She was on the show for seven years. Their duets were a hit and she was a part of his band on the Grand Ole Opry; she also sold and toured records. Her hit "Joshua" was a chart-topper. #1 in 1970 was her biggest single. She made the decision to go it alone and remained with the group, even though she recorded duets with the singer. In 1974, she left him to be a solo artist. Dolly was a well-known singer/songwriter. Dolly was awarded many Country Music Association awards (1968-70 1971-1972 and 1975-1976 1976). The petite (5'0") beauty was an easy fit for television. By the mid-1970s, she was appearing regularly on talk shows, and before having her own Dolly (1976). Dolly was awarded her first Grammy award in 1977 for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. Dolly's first film appearance was in the movie 9-to-5 (1980), where she earned an Oscar nomination for her song title and Grammy awards 2 and 3. She also received Grammy awards 2 and 3 Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance, for the track "Nine to Five." Her fame grew due to her appearances in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982), as along with Rhinestone (1984), with the hit song "Tennessee Homesick Blues". Dolly Parton Enterprises, worth $100 million, is her biggest. Dollywood was established in Pigeon Forge in Tennessee in 1986 to celebrate her Smoky-Mountain heritage. In the 1987 television show Dolly, she starred as herself. In the episode "Trio" she was awarded the Best Country Performance Duo or Group with Vocals Grammy in 1988.
