Dolly Rebecca Parton was born January 19, 1946, the fourth of 12 children.
She is an American singer-songwriter, author, multi-instrumentalist, actress and philanthropist, best-known for her work in country music, her distinctive soprano voice, "big hair," voluptuous figure, flamboyant style and sometimes bawdy sense of humour.

She is known by many as 'The Queen of Country Music,' with twenty-five number-one singles, and a record forty-one top-10 country albums.
She also has the distinction of having performed on a top-five country hit in each of the last five decades and is tied with Reba McEntire as the only country artists with No. 1 singles in four consecutive decades.
