Harmonizing with the older man sharpened Dolly's debate skills.
His songwriting helped her develop counter-arguments to male complaints about women.
Soon it was a series of musical quarrels between equals, with the student surpassing the professor in skill and life knowledge.
All this was frequently expressed in a humorous way, as in the rowdy novelty song called Run That By Me One More Time.
You can hear Dolly run rings around Porter Wagner in her performance here.
She's loose and funny and way more expressive than he is.
He ends up playing the straight man to her comedic energy.
Honey, that's not wine you smell, that's after shaver men.
The last song I want to play is one of Parton's best story songs, but one that is now little known.
It's called My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy from nineteen sixty nine.
Its plot could easily comprise an entire novel.
A young woman from Virginia follows her ambition to New Orleans, breaking the heart of the callous young man she was dating back home.
She's frustrated in her efforts and exploited, reduced to prostitution, and now dreams of the boy she left behind, knowing that he's moved on from her.
It's classic Dolly Parton who was always proving that you can be sentimental without being mawkish, soft-hearted without being soft-headed.
I could have chosen three completely different first-rate dolly compositions.
Indeed, I could have done three songs a week here and not run out of material for years.
If you want to keep Dolly Parton's memory alive in your life, you've got a treasure trove of unfamiliar, perennially fresh music to keep reminding you of her forever.
Much of the Womack Sisters self-titled new album is filled with music that harks back to the days of classic soul and RB.
It's in their blood.
Their parents are Linda and Cecil Womack, who made beautiful rhythm and blues under the name Womack and Womack.
