Dolly Parton's Gospel Recordings From Early '70s Will Be Reissued
Dolly Parton's gospel recordings from the early 1970s will be reissued
on CD and digitally on May 4 by RCA Nashville/Legacy. Titled Letter to Heaven: Songs of Faith and Inspiration, the
16-track album features music from her early career with producer Bob Ferguson. The collection's first 10 songs are from her
1971 album, The Golden Streets of Glory. A previously unreleased track, "Would You Know Him," is also included; the
song is an outtake from Golden Streets of Glory written by Parton and her aunt, Dorothy Jo Hope. Parton wrote many
of the songs, such as "Comin' for to Carry Me Home," "Daddy Was an Old Time Preacher Man" (a Top 10 hit duet with Porter
Wagoner), "God's Coloring Book," "Letter to Heaven" and "Sacred Memories."
