Biography

Dorothy Marie Marsh was born in Tennessee on October 11, 1932. A survivor at heart, Dottie lived through a childhood of savage beatings and sexual abuse from her father. The always hopeful Dottie was always dreaming of making a profession out of singing. While in college Dottie meet her first husband Bill West, who would give her her name. Together the couple would get gigs on local tv and clubs. it wasn’t until the success of Dottie’s singles “An Angel on Paper” and “Let Me Off At the Corner” did Dottie start to make a name for herself. Those minor hits were followed by a top 10 hit with Jim Reeves called “Love Is No Excuse.” There was no doubt that Dottie west was one of the hottest rising stars and her follow up #1 “Here Comes My Baby” proved it.

Throughout the sixties, seventies, and eighties Dottie pumped out chart toppers like no other. she was selling out concerts, selling millions of records, staring in movies, winning Grammies, Clieos and any other kind of awards you can think of. There is no doubt that the little girl from Tennessee came a long way. Dottie West earned herself the respect of everyone in the music industry and countless fans. If not for her music, most people remember her for either her stage presence or overall good nature. She was always looking out for others and going out of her way to do things for fans, family and friends.

    the thing i love about dottie west is that she had this amazing, deep and expressive voice. she always sounded beyond her years. i also loved when she got all divalicious and milfy in the late 70s. she was always subverting preconceptions, be it by writing her own songs back when female country artists just didn't do that, or by wearing skin-tight silver spandex at the grand ole opry. country music is still a poorer place for not having her around.
