2、Dolly Parton

多莉。帕顿

Dolly Parton was the fourth of twelve children. She was born in a small house near the Little Pigeon River

near the tiny town of Locust Ridge, Tennessee. Dolly Rebecca Parton came into the world on January

19th, 1946, and because her family was very poor, the doctor who delivered her, Robert F. Thomas, was

paid with a sack of corn. Of course, the doctor did not know that Dolly would write a song about him, or

that she would become not only a beautiful woman, a multimillionaire, and a Hollywood star, but perhaps

the most famous female country singer of all time.

多莉。帕顿的第四个十二个孩子。她出生在一个小房子附近的小镇附近的小鸽子河蝗虫岭,田纳西州。多莉丽贝卡·帕顿走进世界在1月19日,1946年,由于她的家庭很穷,医生给她,罗伯特·f·托马斯,支付

了一袋玉米。当然,医生不知道多莉会对他写一首歌,或者,她不仅会成为一个美丽的女人,一个千万富翁,和好莱坞明星,但也许最著名的女

性的乡村歌手。

How did Dolly get from Locust Ridge to Hollywood? It was a result of her natural ability and strong

determination. A family member remembers she began singing just about the same time she began

talking. She made her first guitar from an old mandolin and two extra guitar strings. Even before she

went to school, Dolly made up songs and stories and asked her mother to write them down so she could

remember them.

多莉怎么从蝗虫岭到好莱坞?这是由于她的天生的能力和强大的决心。家庭成员记得“她开始唱歌几乎同一时间她开始说话”。她从一个老

曼陀林和两个额外的第一把吉他吉他弦。甚至在她上学之前,多莉由

歌曲和这样她就可以记住它们。,问她妈妈写下来,故事

She became a local star at age ten, appearing on a TV show in Knoxville, Tennessee. In 1957, she took

a long-distance bus to Lake Charles, Louisiana, where she made her first record, Puppy Love. A year

later, she made her first public appearance at Nashville 's country music hall, but not as a singer: she

played the drums with the Sevier High School Marching Band.

她十岁成为当地的一个明星,出现在一个电视节目在诺克斯维尔,田纳西州。1957年,她花了查尔斯湖的长途汽车,路易斯安那州,在那里她发行了她的第一张唱片,“早恋”。一年后,她在纳什维尔后首次公开亮相的年代乡村音乐大厅,但不是作为一个歌手:她的鼓Sevier高中军乐队。

Dolly loved Nashville! However, she was still in high school, so she couldn't go there often. She had to

work long and hard before graduating in 1964. The day after the graduation ceremony, she fulfilled her

first big dream: I graduated from high school on a Friday night and left early on Saturday morning for

Nashville. Her uncle, country star Buck Owens, gave her a place to stay, and on the Saturday she

arrived she took a bundle of dirty clothes to the local laundry. There she met Carl Dean, a carpenter. Two

years later they were married in Georgia. They are still married today.

多莉爱纳什维尔!然而,她还在高中,所以她不能经常去那里。她1964年毕业前长和辛勤工作。毕业典礼后的第二天,她实现了她的第一个大梦想:“我高中毕业在周五晚上和周六早上在纳什维尔”。她的叔叔,乡村歌手巴克欧文斯,给了她一个地方过夜,周六她到达了一堆脏衣服当地洗衣。在那里,她遇到了卡尔迪安,一个木匠。两年后他们结婚了在格鲁吉亚。今天他们还是结婚了。

Dolly began recording more songs, but none of them became popular. Success finally came to her as a

songwriter when another singer recorded Put It Off Till Tomorrow, and it was a hit. Dolly was a fresh

and original songwriter, and could find new ways to talk about familiar stories. She sang with a clear,

strong, sweet voice. This helped her become popular with people who usually didn't enjoy country music.

She also became popular internationally.

多莉开始记录更多的歌曲,但没有流行起来。终于成功当另一个她的作曲的歌手录制“把它推迟到明天”,这是一个打击。多莉是一个新鲜的原创歌曲,能找到新的方式来谈论熟悉的故事。她唱的清楚,强壮,甜美的声音。这帮助她成为受欢迎的人通常不喜欢乡村音乐。她还在
