Porter Wagoner
Symphony Hall, Boston, Massachusetts, 1972
Porter Wagoner has long been the quintessential country entertainer,
combining sharp outfits with old-time country humor and a lively band.
Perhaps best known for his association with Dolly Parton—she
was a member of his band and a duet-recording partner from 1967–1974—Porter
was a huge country star long before Dolly came along. His first big
hit was in 1954 ("Company's Coming") and his songs continued
charting well into the 1980s. The Porter Wagoner Show, an early syndicated
television show (1960-1980), had as many as 150 subscriber stations
at its peak. |
