The first guitar she received was gifted to her at the age of eighteen. She began singing in an Knoxville Tenn station by the age of 11. That that same year, Gold Band Records was an independent label. The singer established a name for herself locally while still at high school, but wanted to perform on a larger stage. In 1964, the day following her graduation from high-school, she relocated to Nashville. Dumb Blonde (1967) and Something Fishy (1968) were her first two charting albums for Monument Records. In the year 1967, Porter Wagoner was looking for a new girl singer for his television show that was syndicated. Parton got her first gig in the year 1967 she signed with RCA Records by 1968, and became a member of the Grand Ole Opry. In 1974, she resigned from The Wagoner's Show due to the popularity of her own songs such as Joshua Coats from Many Colors or Jolene was way ahead of their joint release. Parton composed I Will Always Love You to Wagoner in the aftermath of their breakup. The song reached the top of the charts at. #1 for the first time in 1974.
