'here comes my baby' won a grammy for best female vocal performance and led to dottie being invited to join the grand ole opry, a membership she maintained consistently for 27 years... 1980 was dottie's golden year. she and kenny rogers won the cma's duet of the year for the second time in succession, and she also achieved her second number 1 with 'are you happy baby?'. this long-overdue compilation embraces all the significant smashes from her rca days. it's undoubtedly the most comprehensive collection of early dottie west that money can buy, and will put a degree of perspective on a career that fully deserves to be celebrated for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50436003725643,"sku":"343255","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/b646bcb6-9754-4ca3-ad5c-c5a2836f0ccb_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726910934"},{"product_id":"careless-hands-have-you-heard-im-only-a-woman-country-sunshine","title":"Careless Hands \/ Have You Heard \/ I’m Only A Woman \/ Country Sunshine","description":"\u003cp\u003eFour classic \u003cem\u003eDottie West\u003c\/em\u003e albums recorded between 1971 and 1973 are now available on CD for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCareless Hands\u003c\/strong\u003e (1971) displayed the singer as a vocalist well-attuned to the Nashville sound.
