Life

Dolly Parton (2014)

Dolly Parton was born in 1946 as the fourth of twelve children of Robert Lee Parton and Avie Lee Owens and spent her youth in the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee . Her family is considered very musical and has produced many artists, such as her sister Stella Parton , who recorded several studio albums, and her brother Randy Parton, also a singer. Parton's talent was discovered and promoted early on by her uncle Bill Owens, who encouraged her to participate in various radio programs and television shows.

In one of her greatest hits, Coat of Many Colors , published in 1971, she tells of the poor but happy living conditions of her childhood. She learned to play the guitar at the age of seven. Three years later she made her first public appearance in Knoxville on a television show by businessman and politician Cas Walker . On May 30, 1966, in Ringgold, Georgia , Parton married Carl Dean, a contractor she met at a laundromat and to whom she is still married to this day. Dean avoided the public from the start and does not give interviews. Parton is the godmother of actress and singer Miley Cyrus .

Dolly Parton has been optimizing her appearance with cosmetic surgery since she was 22 years old and deals with it with great self-irony. She wants to continue to use plastic surgery to stop age-related changes. To date, she has spent $ 600,000 on it. In 2020 she will start the #DollyPartonChallenge online, in which the participants present themselves with a collage of four different photos. Over 200,000 users took up this, including numerous celebrities.

Musical career

At the age of 13, Parton made her debut in the Grand Ole Opry with her self-written song Puppy Love . After graduating from school in 1964, she went to Nashville , where she initially worked as a songwriter. She was discovered and promoted by country star Porter Wagoner , who had taken a liking to her first single Dumb Blonde and was looking for a singer for his television show. In the years that followed, Wagoner and Parton produced several successful duets. The collaboration lasted until 1974. Then Parton had surpassed her mentor in popularity and began a very successful solo career.

Parton mostly writes her own songs, they are often covered. The most successful cover version is I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston , which became the best-selling single by a singer worldwide. Jolene , a country song that is also popular in the independent scene, is the most frequently interpreted of her pieces with 44 cover versions. In many of her songs she sings about typical topics such as unhappy love, poverty or trust in God, but she also draws attention to herself with texts about suicide , incest , murder, miscarriages and mental illness. Her title Travelin 'Thru is dedicated to the topic of transsexuality . The many interpreters of their songs include The White Stripes , The Sisters of Mercy , Norah Jones and Shelby Lynne .

Parton also sang numerous duets with Kenny Rogers . The most successful is the song Islands in the Stream , written and produced by the Bee Gees , which was released in 1983 and climbed to the top of the charts. In 2013 the duet You Can't Make Old Friends was released , in which Parton and Rogers review their long-term collaboration and friendship. There were also important collaborations with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris , with whom Parton formed the supergroup Trio , which in 1987 and 1999 released the two albums Trio and Trio II .

Parton has recorded nearly 80 albums in the last 40 years; most of them in country style, but also numerous pop albums. She also devoted herself to gospel music and, in the late 1990s, more and more to bluegrass . Parton is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame , as she owns the copyright to over 3000 self-written songs. Parton was nominated twice for an Oscar : 1981 for her film song 9 to 5 from Why actually ... don't we kill the boss? , which was her first number one hit on the pop charts, and in 2006 with Travelin 'Thru from the movie Transamerica . She holds numerous records and is the richest woman in pop music history according to Billboard . No other singer made it to the top of the charts twice with the same song ( I Will Always Love You 1973 and 1982). As the only singer, she had 25 number one hits in four decades.

Parton released in 2005 the album Those Were the Days , a collection of cover versions of known hits from the 1960s and 1970s such as John Lennon's Imagine and Cat Stevens ' Where Do the Children Play? . Backwoods Barbie followed in spring 2008 , the first album to be released on her own label Dolly Records. In autumn 2008, the premiere of her musical 9 to 5 took place in Los Angeles . In 2011 Parton released her 41st studio album Better Day , the pieces of which she presented on her world tour of the same name. After a long break she devoted herself to acting again and took on one of the leading roles alongside Queen Latifah in the musical comedy Joyful Noise , for whose soundtrack she wrote four of twelve pieces. The accompanying duet From Here to the Moon and Back , which Parton sang with Willie Nelson , appeared on their new album Blue Smoke in 2014 . In January 2014 her Blue Smoke World Tour started , which also included appearances in Germany (Cologne and Berlin) for the first time in over 40 years. In the course of this world tour, she also appeared for the first time at the Glastonbury Festival in England in June 2014 .

Work as an entrepreneur

Dolly Parton, 2006

Parton has been a co-owner of Dollywood amusement park in Pigeon Forge , Tennessee, since 1986 . In 2010 it was awarded the Applause Award by a jury of experts and was allowed to call itself “The best amusement park in the world” for two years. In the fall of 2013, Parton announced investments of $ 300 million over the next ten years to expand the theme park with new attractions and a family resort.

In November 1979 the Bally company brought out a pinball machine with the theme “Dolly Parton”, which had been designed in close collaboration with them. In the early 1990s, Revlon was selling a line of Parton cosmetics and wigs.

social commitment

In April 1988, shortly after Dollywood opened , she set up the Dollywood Foundation, a non-profit that initially began providing scholarships to high school students in Sevier County, Parton's home region of Tennessee. From this, the non-profit organization Imagination Library grew in 1995 , which sends a monthly book to participating children. Initially operating exclusively in Sevier County, the project was expanded to a national level in 2004 and then to other countries. Today the Imagination Library ships over a million books every month. In the course of this, Parton also worked as a children's book author.

In May 2009, she gave the graduation speech at the University of Tennessee , which served as the basis for her 2013 guidebook Dream More . There she was awarded an honorary doctorate for her musical, cultural and philanthropic achievements. She is the second person to have received this award.

In April 2020, in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic , she donated $ 1 million to research at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville. In November 2020 it was announced that Parton's donation had made a significant contribution to the development of the Moderna vaccine.

Furthermore, she has already received several awards for her social commitment in the field of education and animal welfare . She continuously donates and collects funds for various humanitarian organizations. She had donated generous sums to hospitals in the past, including the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt Pediatric Cancer Program, where her niece had been successfully treated for leukemia .

Parton publicly advocates same-sex marriage . Since she comes from the so-called Bible Belt , which is considered to be conservative , she had to contend with boycotts and death threats because of her support for the gay community .
