Dolly Rebecca Parton

Dolly Rebecca Parton was conceived in Pittman Center on January 19 1946. She was born in Sevierville to Avie Lee Parton (a housewife) and Robert Lee Parton (a tobacco farmer). She was featured on Knoxville TV at 12 years old. At the age of 13, she was recording on the label of a small company, and was performing on the Grand Ole Opry. She graduated high school in 1964 and relocated to Nashville to begin her country-singing journey. She became a fan of Carl Dean, who ran an asphalt-paving business; they were married on May 30 1966 and have remained together. Porter Wagoner hired her in 1967 to perform on his show, The Porter Wagoner Show (1961). She remained on the show for seven years. Their duets went viral and she was a part of his band at the Grand Ole Opry; she also performed on tour and sold records. When her 1970 hit "Joshua" was ranked at #1, her fame was just too high to match his. In 1974, she went by herself and recorded duets alongside the singer. She separated from him and became a solo artist in 1974. Dolly was a well-known singer/songwriter. Dolly was awarded numerous Country Music Association awards (1968-70 1971-1972, 1975-1976 and 1976). The petite (5'0") beauty was a natural for television, and by the mid-1970s she was frequently appearing in TV specials and talk shows prior to launching her own, Dolly (1976). Dolly was awarded her first Grammy award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance in 1977 for "Here You Come Again". Dolly's movie debut was in 9 to 5 (1980) in which she received an Oscar nomination for the song's title song, and 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 well as Rhinestone (1984) in which she sang the hit track "Tennessee Homesick Blues". Dolly Parton Enterprises is her media empire worth over $100 million. In 1986, she launched Dollywood the Tennessee theme park located in Pigeon Forge. This was in celebration of her Smoky Mountain upbringing. She starred in the TV show Dolly (1987 television series) as herself. For "Trio" she was awarded the Best Country Performance Duo or Group with Vocals Grammy in 1988.
