well-known and she was invited to appear with him at the Grand Ole Opry. At the
point that her hit song "Joshua" reached #1 in the year 1970, her
popularity had eclipsed hers and she struck out on her own while still
recording duets alongside his. In 1974, she left the duo to become a solo
artist. Dolly became a huge hit as a songwriter/singer. Dolly was honored with
numerous Country Music Association awards (1968-1971, 1971, 1975-1976,
1975-1976). The petite (5'0") beauty was an ideal candidate for TV at the
time, and by the middle of the 1970s she was appearing frequently on television
specials and talk shows prior to launching her own, Dolly (1976). Dolly was
awarded her first Grammy award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance in
1977 for "Here You Come Again". Dolly's first movie appearance was in
9-to-5 (1980) in which she earned an Oscar nomination for the title of her song
and Grammy awards 2 and 3. She also received Grammy awards 2 and 3, Best
