Trying To Break Free
Dolly and Porter Wagoner did not have the best of relationship post-Parton’s huge success. Despite working with him for seven years, she decided to end the partnership on February 19, 1974. It was evident that the two are not that comfortable with each other. Parton told CMT, “I was trying to get away on my own because I had promised to stay with Porter’s show for five years. I had been there for seven. And we fought a lot. We were very much alike. We were both stubborn.”
