Porter Wagoner
 Porter Wagoner is famous for his flashy Nudie suits and blonde pompadour, and his commitment to traditional country and gospel. Of course Wagoner's will always be remembered for introducing a young Dolly Parton to his long-running television show.
In a world where the term is overused, Porter Wagoner is a true legend. He kicked out hard-hitting honky-tonk anthems in the 50s; pioneered music television; influenced everyone from Johnny Cash and Dwight Yoakam to the Byrds and Gram Parsons; and recorded seminal concept albums in the early seventies, populated with the lonely, addicted, and mentally ill.
Porter Wagoner passed away on October 29 2007 after releasing his final album Wagonmaster earlier in the year.
