Dolly Parton -

As the queen of country music, Dolly Parton is a legend in her own right. Born in 1946 in rural Tennessee, Dolly began performing as a child and was heavily influenced by the music of her church. When just 18, she moved to Nashville in search of fame and fortune. Forty years on, she has succeeded in every way - and is still going strong. Over the years she has received seven Grammy Awards, recorded forty-one top-ten country albums, and has been awarded countless accolades including induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Living Legend Medal presented by the U.S Congress. She is famed for her incredible talent, vivacious image and wry sense of humour.
