On The Wagon
With her career starting to take off, Parton was invited by Porter Wagoner to join his organization by offering a regular spot on his weekly syndicated television program The Porter Wagoner Show as well as his roadshow.
Audiences originally gave Parton a frosty reception due to many being unhappy that Norma Jean, the performer Parton replaced, having left the show. Some would at times chant loudly for Norma, but with Wagoner’s assistance, Parton was eventually accepted.
