Elvis Presley with Dottie West : Landmark Hotel : February 25, 1971.

Throughout the sixties, seventies, and eighties Dottie pumped out chart toppers like no other. she was selling out concerts, selling millions of records, staring in movies, winning Grammies, Clieos and any other kind of awards you can think of. There is no doubt that the little girl from Tennessee came a long way. Dottie West earned herself the respect of everyone in the music industry and countless fans.

If not for her music, most people remember her for either her stage presence or overall good nature. She was always looking out for others and going out of her way to do things for fans, family and friends.

Despite Dottie's constant chart presence and sold out concerts her foundation fell out from under her when she discovered that she was a victim of a sneaky accountant and was overpowered by the IRS to give up all she owned. And ALL is ALL. The list of Dottie's personal momentous included the rights to all her music (She wrote over 400). All Dottie did was look out for others and this is how she was treated ...

But Dottie had dignity and started to rebuild her empire.

The Imperials

The Imperials are an American Christian music group that has been around for over 45 years. Originating as a southern gospel quartet, the innovative group would become pioneers of contemporary Christian music in the 1960s. There have been many changes for the band in membership and musical styles over the years. They would go on to win four Grammys, and be inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

Larry Gatlin

Larry Wayne Gatlin (born May 2, 1948) is an American country music singer/songwriter. He is perhaps best known for teaming up with his brothers Steve and Rudy in the late 1970s, becoming one of country music's most successful acts of the 1970s and 1980s. Gatlin has had a total of 33 Top 40 singles (combining his solo recordings and those with his brothers). As their fame grew, the band became known as Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers. Their popularity lasted throughout much of the 1980s. Their biggest hits together include, 'Broken Lady', 'All the Gold in California', 'Houston (Means I'm One Day Closer to You)', 'She Used to Be Somebody's Baby', and 'Talkin' to the Moon'. Larry Gatlin is known for his rich tenor voice and for the string of pop-inflected hit songs he wrote and recorded throughout the 1970s and 80s.

In 1973, Gatlin released his first album, The Pilgrim. Two singles were released from the album: 'Sweet Becky Walker' and 'Bitter They Are, Harder They Fall'; however, both singles failed. One stand-out composition called 'Bitter They Are' was eventually recorded by Elvis Presley (who also later recorded Gatlin's Help Me).
