August 30th, 2010
Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson and visionary record mogul Fred Foster were honored with the Leadership Music Dale Franklin Award Sunday night at a gala awards dinner heavily attended by Music Row players.
Foster was the first to sign artists, including Dolly Parton and Kristofferson, and his label, Monument Records, was home to other music greats, including Roy Orbison, Tony Joe White and Billy Swan.
Swan and Parton were part of Foster’s awards presentation. Parton sang her first hit, “Dumb Blonde,” and said Foster deserved “anything to do with leadership and anything to do with music.”
