This week we add Patsy Cline protégé and Country Pop innovator Dottie West to our ongoing public playlist. <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/50NTURKislHpOtBgcaPa2H?si=5ad58b031d6a43de">Specifically we add the No. 1 country hit "A Lesson In Leavin'" </a>(though it is certainly more pop than country). We discuss Dottie's pop transformation, the hardships she endured in childhood and in her career, and what she has in common with Journey's Steve Perry.
