I remember getting to shake his hand and say hi to Porter 23 April 2005 when I was on the Grand Ole Opry with the Opry Square Dancers. I miss him very much. LittleCountryDJ

i remember meeting him when i was about 10 or so? he was such a regular guy, very approachable. it was at the imlay city fair. myself and my dad talked to him back and forth and it was like he was a friend not a big star. great guy/ and talent!!!

"Ya'll Come" and let me try to screw you like I tried with Dolly. I want 50% OF YOUR INCOME FOR LIFE. A legend? Yes. But still an asshole. Marty Stewart is a great guy that pays tribute to the so call legends. When Porter was down, who came to the rescue? Dolly. If Porter is such an Icon. Name me 5 number 1' s by mr. Wagoner. Shold be easy. George Straight only has 57.

@starr522 I don't think anyone cares what you think as far as criticizing Porter. Were you part of the show and didn't get paid or what? You don't have to be insulting about this fine musician I am sure Dolly could handle her career without your opinion. As for Marty - I like him but he started out as a smart aleck before he found out that he wasn't an icon like Porter. Connie has helped him keep his career going which is great. I like to see success and Porter worked hard. - Paula

@starr522 Come on now he has had some # 1's one of which was with Dolly and yes she gave him some 14 top 10 singles but I don't think he was as bad as you make it sound here. Think about it if he hadn't hire Dolly she might not be holding all those industry records she holds today. top billboard female artiste with top 10's 40's and #1's in addition to being the top overall with more top 10 albums than anyone else. let'

s give Porter a break

[rebel70s]

I am from Little Dixie Oklahoma and Porter is one of my all time greats of classic country music  and his music will live forever R.I.P Porter Wagoner until we meet again someday!

[lforbus]

Without a doubt, one of the classiest people that ever graced the stage of the Grand Ole Opry.

[acr08807]

It's sad when the greats don't know when it's time to quit.

[pinkbarney3]

it's never time to quit

[kd5hms63]

They don't make Country legends like the

great Wagonmaster, Porter Wagoner! He

personified with an exclamation point what true country and western home-style

music stood for ! HIs suits glittered and shined, so did his love for his loyal fans !

[DOLLYWAYNE38]

I love Porter so much n I am glad that i got a chance to see him in 2000 at the Opry n he was a showman..

[sissy5595]

@DOLLYWAYNE38 Porter wagoner what can i say, He was my idol & still is,What a showman on stage & off a real gentleman and a fine person. I am from Murray River Prince Edward Island Canada, a long way from Nashville Tenn. I had the privilege of going to Nashville in 1992 & 1993. In 1992 I shook hands with Porter on stage at the Grand Ole Opry and in 1993 I met him again at Opry Land and we chatted and he autographed his life story for me and I will always treasure it. He was the best! Garnet.

[DOLLYWAYNE38]

@sissy5595 Don't you think we lost a great star when he died I was mad that he was not inducted into the Hall of Fame back in the 1980's. He should have been. As Kenny Rogers said, ''I am glad that they did it before he died so he could enjoy a couple years of it'' to paraphrased it.

[sissy5595]

@DOLLYWAYNE38 Hi Dolly, Thanks for responding, Yes we both think alike, Porter was one of the best, I felt like i lost a friend when he left us , I watch he and dolly almost every day , They were a special team together they were magic between them, Cheers, Garnet,

[sissy5595]

Respond to this video...Hi Dolly, Thanks for responding, Yes we did lose a wonder STAR to me he was the best indeed he should have been inducted into the hall of fame long long ago, I still watch he and Dolly almost every day , I love them and never get tired of them, He was one of a kind Cheers, Garnet

[kd5hms63]

This legendary original icon of country and western music will be missed, after more than fifty years on the grand ole opry, and his down home style will always glitter and shine like the suits he wore! Wagonmaster Rest in Peace!!

[rcbaker87]

I saw him at the opry in the summer of 07, a few months before he past. RIP

[tomyom3]

Porter I miss you. You were one of the people who inspired me to become a song writer. Rest in peace my friend, rest in peace!

[sjkalsc]

Love you and miss you Porter

[CountryCarter]

What is the name of the song ?

[Codyiloveu]

We certainly miss you Porter. You were the best.

[chinton90]

u gotta love the wagonmaster. I saw a dvd where he said he was the first country singer to claim being a redneck. Hell only us rednecks could rock a suit like that.

[tomyom3]

I had the pleasure to meet him. I also wrote a song for him.

[Warchild1950]

I grew up in the Missouri Ozarks and allways watch Porter Wagoner Show.God will bless Porter and do miss him so. Rest easy old friend.
