Dolly Parton celebrates her 50th anniversary as a member of the Grand Ole Opry this weekend. Here are her 5 best Opry performances
Parton, who this week celebrates her 50th anniversary as a member of the Opry cast with an all-star salute, was officially inducted as an Opry member in January 1969, by which time she was a nationally recognized TV star alongside Porter Wagoner.
Five years later, just after her high-school graduation, Dolly moved to Music City. In the 50 years since becoming an official Grand Ole Opry member — which she did on the very same night as George Jones, Mel Tillis, and Tammy Wynette — Parton’s Opry appearances have always been nothing short of memorable. Here are the five best.“My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy,” 1969
In 1969, not long after her Opry induction, Parton was one of the Opry performers featured in filmmaker David Hoffman’s musical documentary. Spotlighting Music City’s massive growth in the wake of the blockbuster crossover success of Glen Campbell, Johnny Cash, and others, the film captures Parton in the middle of her seven-year tenure as Porter Wagoner’s “girl singer,” but here, as she relates the homespun tale of “My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy,” there’s no denying her solo star appeal.
