She Makes a Change

We bet the pop world now feels sorry about snubbing Dolly Parton and her works! Their loss ended up being a big win for country fans. After composing the hit that turned out to be Bill Phillip’s biggest song, she performed simple harmonies for him. This was the beginning of her transition into the world of country music. When she came out with two country singles from her album “Hello, I’m Dolly!”, they were instant hits. The songs even made it to the 17th and 24th spots of the country music charts in 1967. Dolly found her one true calling, and she was soon on her way to fame and success.
