Porter Wagoner, the rhinestone-clad Grand Ole Opry star died Sunday. He was 80. He was one of my favorites. He sang and played real country music, not that crap you hear today.

Rock, He was also a song writer. He wrote some really good ones made famous by others.

Channel 11 used to be the redneck channel of choice. Momma didn't like me watching roller derby.
if you ever drove through PRV you'd see where he got the inspiration for that song. it was the most beautiful place in alabama at one time before the city folks decided to move in and destroy the country side :xbackhoeboogie":27hyakud said:ALACOWMAN":27hyakud said:negatory backhoe.... our own PAINT ROCK VALLEY's curley putman wrote that little diddy along with george jones HE STOPPED LOVING HER TODAY and some others. gonna miss ol' porter though.. always liked watching his show as a kidbackhoeboogie":27hyakud said:ROCKSPRINGS":27hyakud said:He sang and played real country music, not that crap you hear today.

Thats a tacky way of putting it ,but yes he did discover her. I remember the night she was first introduced on his show. I remember hearing my uncles saying WOW look at those .......curtis":3gvv94un said:Porter Wagoner, ain't he the one that discovered Dolly Pardon between the sheets and brought her to fame and fortune?
