Hanoi [Vietnam], August 27: Dolly Parton never forgets to talk about her impoverished childhood. Her family was so poor that her father, an illiterate farmhand, could only pay the doctor who delivered her with a bag of cornmeal when she was born in their one-room log cabin in the Great Smoky Mountains (USA).
Thanks to her relentless efforts, outstanding talent, approachable image, and sharp business acumen, Dolly Parton rose from poverty to build a massive business empire. According to estimates, the singer's net worth could have reached $1 billion if she hadn't dedicated so much of her money to charity, Daily Mail reported on August 26th.

In late 1973, she decided to leave Porter Wagoner. To announce her decision, Dolly Parton wrote the song "I Will Always Love You ." Porter Wagoner was initially very moved by the song and agreed to let Dolly Parton go on the condition that he be allowed to produce a recording. The song later became one of the most famous hits in music history when it was performed by the legendary Whitney Houston in the early 1990s.
