Dolly was honored with numerous Country Music Association awards (1968-1971, 1971, 1975-1976, 1975-1976). The petite (5'0") beauty was an ideal candidate for TV at the time, and by the middle of the 1970s she was appearing frequently on television specials and talk shows prior to launching her own, Dolly (1976). Dolly was awarded her first Grammy award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance in 1977 for "Here You Come Again".
