Unfortunately, Porter is best known for his rhinestone nudie suits and for giving Dolly Parton her start in the biz as his duet partner (nothing wrong with that in the least bit- I just wish that more people knew him and his music, rather than his outfits and for someone else and their music).
Now, I could type out a long dissertation about Porter and his importance, but there's probably not a lot that I can say that hasn't been already said, especially since I missed early posting on this. I meant to post about him going into the hospital recently, but just got totally sidetracked with ROCKTOBER.
So, check out these posts about P-Dub (what I called him when we came up together):
Tennesseean
CMT
Country Music Hall of Fame
LA Times
Also, check out his last release: Wagonmaster. It is PHENOMENAL! You won't be sorry.
