Growing up we had Holly on the Morning Show here at the old 106.7 W4 Country in Detroit. She was paired with country radio hose Jim Bosh. It was a radical experiment at the time for a country singer or really any musician.

Holly Dunn was my favorite singer and always will be. I followed her career religiously. I would drive from the Allentown, Pa. area to Wheeling, WVA to see her perform at Capitol Music Hall and come back home the same night.
I really miss not being able to be that devoted to an entertainer like I was Holly. Each show was a new and enjoyable experience. I saw many of them and have some really nice memories.
Holly is a very beautiful and talented lady who I wish was still in the country music industry but I know she is happy doing her art work.

It seems that Holly Dunn has a lot of class. I have always liked her sweet voice.

Holly Dunn was the total package – she had the voice, the looks and she was a talented songwriter . By the time “Maybe I Mean Yes” hit the charts, she had had two #1 records (a total of 9 top ten records) . “Maybe I Mean Yes” was just beginning to make waves when the Politically Corect Thought Police (PCTP) attacked it.

By giving in the the PCTP and urging DJs not to play the record , she effectively killed off her own career.

1) “Maybe I Mean Yes” was on it’s way to being a big record – it got to #48 quickly and then faded away as DJs quit playing it, although it hung on the charts for another month or so
2) Many listeners lost respect for her when she gave in to the PCTP
3) She didn’t make fans of the PCTPs anyway, most of whom never listened to or purchased country music

Meanwhile the DJs had given up on her – Holly Dunn never again cracked the Top 50, although she continued to record for a few more years.

I’d love to hear some new Holly Dunn music but she is completely out of the business these days. Maybe in another life !
