At the Nashville Tennessean, a loving obit -- Country Hall of Famer Porter Wagoner dies at 80 -- some tunes, and a slideshow of 56 photos from his long career.
A modest blog post at Heart on a Stick references Country Music Television's obit (Country Music Hall of Fame Member Porter Wagoner Dies) and adds, Others are going to know way more than me about his best writing and singing, about his role in spreading country music via the TV (21 years!), how he fought to give Dolly Parton a career, how he fought to keep her shackled long after her star had eclipsed his. About that amazing, awful, rhinestone jumpwear. Sing it at the pearly gates, Porter. Posted by Sheila Lennon |
