An Enticing Offer
Dolly Parton received an offer to appear regularly on Porter Wagoner’s syndicated TV program in 1967.
Seen together in 1967 on the set of “The Porter Wagoner Show,” which she appeared on until the mid-’70s, the pair later released several chart-topping duets.
Recognition
At the Country Music Association Awards on October 1, 1970, Dolly Parton and her partner Porter Wagoner posed with Roy Clark and Merle Haggard. The pair won the vocal combo of the year award that evening.
They worked together so frequently in the late 1960s and early 1970s that he actually owned almost half of the music publishing business Dolly founded with her uncle. For their duet “Just Someone I Used to Know,” Dolly received her first Grammy nomination in the same year.
