She Makes A Change
When Parton’s composition “Put It Off Until Tomorrow” sung by Bill Phillips reached number six on the country chart in 1966, the label finally allowed her to record country music. Parton had, in fact, contributed the harmony to the song despite being uncredited.
Her first single “Dumb Blonde” reached number 24 on the country chart, while her next song “Something Fishy” reached 17. Both songs featured in her first full-length album, Hello, I’m Dolly. And thus, a true Country Music star was born!
