Page "Dolly Parton" Paragraph 22

In 1978, Parton won a Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance for her Here You Come Again album.

She continued to have hits with " Heartbreaker " ( 1978 ), " Baby I'm Burning " and " You're the Only One " ( both 1979 ), all of which charted in the pop singles Top 40, and all of which also topped the country-singles chart ; 1979's " Sweet Summer Lovin '" became the first Parton single in two years to not top the country singles chart ( though it still nonetheless reached the top ten ).

During this period, Parton's visibility continued to increase, with television appearances in 1977, 1978 and 1979.

A highly publicized candid interview on a Barbara Walters Special in December 1977 ( timed to coincide with Here You Come Agains release ) was followed by appearances in 1978 on Cher's ABC television special, and her own joint special with Carol Burnett on CBS, Carol and Dolly in Nashville.

She also served as one of three co-hosts ( along with Roy Clark and Glen Campbell ) on the CBS special Fifty Years of Country Music.

In 1979, Parton hosted the NBC special The Seventies: An Explosion of Country Music, performed live at the Ford Theatre in Washington, D. C., and whose audience included President Jimmy Carter.
