Dolly Parton was born in Tennessee, USA. The twelfth child in a very poor family, Dolly Parton managed to realize what is called the American Dream: from the age of ten, the girl was undersleep and malnourished, but with the last money she took music lessons, and in 1959, after singing for three years in church, won the main prize at the Tennessee beginner vocalists competition.
Dolly Parton performed her first author's single "Puppy Love" at the competition in New York, and the thing was immediately replicated as a single and reached the 5th place of the American chart in the blues category. In 1964, she graduated from Berkeley and by 1967 was already a professional singer at RCA.
The duet with Peter Wagenor became the golden debut that any aspiring singer is waiting for; the compositions “Just Someone I Used To Know”, “Daddy Was An Old Time Preacher Man” (both 1970) not only paved the way for Dolly Parton to great music, but also led to Hollywood.
Continuing to work with Wagenor, Dolly Parton also starred in movies, creating a reputation for herself as a “pretty blonde who really knows how to sing”: almost all the latest Dolly Parton discs become “gold”, and from country she recently threw into the mainstream; Roger Waters co-authored one of her last discs, and Billy Joel wrote piano parts.
After filming the film “Steel Magnolias”, Dolly Parton undertook the first large-scale tour of Europe and surpassed Madonna in rating: tickets for concerts Dolly Parton, for example, in Japan, sell faster than for Madonna concerts. In the spring of 1993, Dolly Parton performed for the first time with her grandson - Mark plays guitar (teacher - Al Di Meola) and saxophone. Dolly Parton's kids have nothing to do with music.
