Hello, my name is Brad and I live in Ontario, Canada. I have been a fan of Dottie West for most of my life. I am bringing back my Dottie West bio page in response to numerous requests for its return. It has been slightly expanded to include a couple of other things. Please email me by clicking the contact button in the menu and let me know what you think of the new design.

Introduction

You couldn't blame Ms. Dottie West for singing about pain and heartbreak, her life was full of both! Today, many Country Music historians agree that Dottie West may well have been the first truly liberated woman of Country Music. She sang with such passion and honesty, that you believed in what she was singing. She was a simple country girl who had dreams of fame, fortune and happiness, who sang with a tear in her voice. This page is a tribute to her memory.
