Porter Wagoner was born Aug. 12, 1927, in West Plains, Missouri. Known for his flashy Nudie suits, blond pompadour and distinctive country sound, Wagoner became a major figure in country music and earned the nickname "Mr. Grand Ole Opry."
In 1967, Parton joined The Porter Wagoner Show, Wagoner's long-running syndicated television program. The move gave the then little-known singer a national platform and helped introduce her to audiences far beyond Nashville.
Their professional relationship eventually became complicated, but Wagoner's role in Parton's early career remained significant. Parton went on to become a superstar, songwriter, actress and entrepreneur, while Wagoner continued his own career as a recording artist and television personality.
Wagoner had more than 80 singles chart on the U.S. country charts between 1954 and 1983 and scored numerous hits during his long career. He was also a longtime member of the Grand Ole Opry, and his television show helped bring country music into homes across the country for more than two decades.
