Porter Wagoner - Gospel 2006

Porter Wagoner (born August 12, 1927, in Howell County, Missouri, in the Ozark Mountains) is famous for his flashy Nudie suits and blonde pompadour, Wagoner introduced a young Dolly Parton to his long-running television show and together they were a very successful duet for a number of years.

His first band, The Blue Ridge Boys, performed on radio station KWPM from a butcher shop where Porter cut meat. Wagoner's big break came in 1951 when he was hired as a performer by station KWTO in Springfield, Missouri. This led to a contract with RCA Records. With lagging sales, Wagoner and his trio played schoolhouses for the gate proceeds.

In 1953, his song Trademark became a hit for Carl Smith, followed by a few hits of his own on RCA. He was a featured performer on ABC's Ozark Mountain Jubilee and moved to Nashville and joined the Grand Ole Opry in 1957. ~ More information at Wikipedia
