Synopsis
Dolly! was a television variety show that aired during the 1976-1977 season and featured Dolly Parton. In the mid-1970s, Parton was approached by Bill Graham, president of Show Biz, Inc., the same company that produced The Porter Wagoner Show, and soon afterward the syndicated variety show Dolly was born. The show boasted a budget of $85,000 per episode, an impressive sum at the time for a syndicated show. A variety of Nashville and Hollywood stars were scheduled to appear, including Karen Black, Tom T. Hall, Emmylou Harris, The Hues Corporation, Captain Kangaroo, Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr., Ronnie Milsap, Anne Murray, Kenny Rogers, Linda Ronstadt, KC & The Sunshine Band, and Anson Williams.
