Storyline

Dolly Parton And Friends, Dolly Parton rapidly rose to fame during the 1970s with her memorable country hits, including solo efforts and numerous duets with Porter Wagoner; she had earlier worked as Wagoner’s featured singer on his TV series. “Dolly” was Parton’s first solo TV effort, featuring a mix of country and popular music and comedy sketches. The show was only semi-successful in first-run syndication; however, “Dolly” would be repeated for many years (in syndication and later, cable) as Parton’s star power rose exponentially in the late 1970s, with sold out concerts, starring movie roles and million-selling singles that charted on Billboard magazine’s country singles and Hot 100 charts.

“Very Rare Dolly Parton”

For those of you looking for some rare Dolly Parton footage before she became a superstar, this collection of “Dolly” episodes is it. Debuting in the fall of 1976, “Dolly” was a syndicated variety show that Dolly Parton had out when she first signed with Sandy Gallin, the man largely responsible for making Dolly a superstar. The series, not to be confused with the “Dolly” variety series from 1987 on ABC, only ran one season and approximately 22 shows were filmed. This collection features the best in the “Dolly” series of shows, with the best episode featuring the future “Trio”, Linda Rondstant, Emmylou Harris, and Dolly, singing beautifully and harmonizing like birds in a tree. There is also a rare bonus feature with Dolly singing with Porter Wagoner and his cast on his own show from the late ’60s.
