Going Solo

Even though now it is hard to envision Parton not being a solo star, she had it quite hard at first. She and Wagoner performed as a duo till the time she left the show in 1974. Signing to RCA Victor label, her first single, ‘Just Because I’m a Woman’, charted at number 17 only. She had a string of song releases in the 60s, but none could top the ones she had with Wagoner.
