This week’s Radio Ink Blast from the Past was submitted by Doug Lane. It was 1977 when Dolly Parton stopped by KERE in Denver, bringing a bit of Tennessee sparkle to the Rockies.
Pictured with her are R.T. Simpson, Doug MacKinnon, Doug Lane, and RCA Records’ Burt Baumgardner. Lane, who enjoyed a 50-year radio career across Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Colorado, Wisconsin, and Ohio, remembers the visit as one of the standout moments of his time behind the mic.
We will always love you, Miss Dolly. Thanks, Doug, for this great photo…
