Royal Meeting
On May 17, 1977, Dolly Parton, “Lamb Chop’s Play-Along” star Shari Lewis, and singer-actor David Soul attended a variety event in Glasgow as part of Her Majesty’s Silver Jubilee tour of Scotland.
A few months later, Queen Dolly released “Here You Come Again,” her 12th studio album as a solo performer. It was the first record she had ever released that sold more than a million copies.
Teaming Up
Cher and Dolly Parton collaborated on the 1978 ABC special “Cher… Special,” which included the “I Got You Babe” vocalist.
For her efforts, Dolly was nominated for her first Emmy (for outstanding ongoing or single performance by a supporting actress in variety or music).
