Speaker 1 (03:54):
All I I was sitting here thinking, what did you
sing on the CMA Awards show back in our total?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Was that?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Joline?
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I did, Jolene. I want to be in my award
for that too. During the convention you did.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
That's a songwriter's award for the people that don't really
know what be am I this broadcast music.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
They present awards to the writers who were signed with
them based on record plays, don't they YEA many how
many times a song was performed on the airwaves.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I think that's how it goes. I really never quite
understood how you got the awards. I was just always
glad to get him.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I think R. Wilson told me. I asked him the
same question and he said, well, you can look at
that award and figure that your record or your tune
played about one hundred at least one hundred and twenty
five thousand times on the airwaves. And that's an estimate.
And what tunes did you win awards for this year?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I got one for Jolene and also one for Gavelin Man,
which was out last year. They have some sort of
a way to know to work that. I'm not sure,
but that's the only ones I got award Zone this
past year. Next year, I hope I'll get one and
I will Always Love You, which was out this year.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
That's a very pretty thank you, Dolly. I don't know
where I was going with this, so I think I
will give the que and pick up again. All Right,
you've heard Miss Dolly Parton and Joshua Dolly. We were
(05:34):
talking about awards. I know you and Porter Wagoner. I'm
going to talk more about Porter a little bit later.
I know that you've split up essentially yours. You split
your active part. But as a duet you you have
won many awards as the Outstanding Duo of the Year,
(05:56):
haven't you.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
We won three CMA Awards for the duet when you win.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
When to give awards to two people in one category?
Do they give each of you an award?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Right? Well, they only have one that particular night of
the show, but then later on they have another one
made up, so we always have one each.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
So he can take one to his eyes, you can
take it. I see you know young Brian Collins.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Oh, I think he's one of the greatest talents in
the world. I saw him.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I really do think he is.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
He started to say he saw him.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I saw him in Texas before he ever come to Nashville,
and he sung a song backstage.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
For me, and I thought you were the one that
inspired him to come to Nashville.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Oh, that's what he said. I just listened and told
him I thought he was good and I thought he
could make it.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Do you remember that? Do you remember when he came
up to you?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah? I remember it.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Well, where were you?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I don't remember where we were in Texas, but I
remember seeing him backstage and he said, I sang and
I got if you have a few minutes, I got
a song I'd like to sing to you. And I
said well, I'll take a few minutes. I think Porter
was on stage and I was waiting to go back
on for dw Eds as well as I remember. Anyway,
him and a friend of his come in the dressing
(07:10):
room and he started singing, and boy, it just knocked
me out. So I said, sing another.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Was he pitching you a song?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
No, I don't think he was pitching me song. I
don't remember that part. I just remember I was so
impressed with the way he sung, and so he sung
a couple of things and I just told him I
thought it was good, which I did. I didn't, and
I told him I thought he could make it. He
asked me if I thought he could, and I said,
I sure do. If you couldn't, I'd hate to hear
(07:36):
somebody that could. So I didn't think him more about it.
And uh so, then later on I found out that
he had come to Nashville and that he had tried
to find He had tried to find me and I
was out on the road, but he got things going.
I didn't really, I didn't do anything.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
You inspired him, though, but he's good.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
When you told him that he ought to come to
Nashville and that he would make it ain't no way
to stated that.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
But he's really good.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
And I don't take no credit because I didn't do
a thing except listen. But I just I'm just glad
he's got something going well.
Speaker 1 (08:09):

record by the young man we're talking about from Texas City, Texas,
