‘I was thinking of Porter Wagoner, who was born on this day (12 August) in 1927 in West Plains, MO.
In 1967, Porter introduced Dolly Parton to his television audience.
Porter passed in 2007 from lung cancer, but he left us his great music’

Gene Watson recorded Porter Wagoner’s ‘Tennessee Sunshine’ and included the track on ‘Paper Rosie‘ (Capitol Records, 1977).
