Pop Goes The Country The Statler Brothers And Dottie West 1975. Pop! Goes the Country is a weekly half-hour syndicated variety country music television series that originally aired from September 7, 1974 through January 1, 1982 for a total of 234 episodes. Originally hosted by Ralph Emery, the series was recorded at the Grand Ole Opry and featured comedy sketches, performances by and interviews with country music singers, both established celebrities and up and coming singers and musicians. In 1980, Tom T. Hall replaced Emery as the host. In the final year of the series, comedian Jim Varney became a member of the show, and the show moved from the Opry House to Opryland USA’s Gaslight Theater. It is also considered as a spin-off of The Porter Wagoner Show. The Statler Brothers sang the show’s original theme song.
The series’ title referenced the influence pop music was having on country music in the works of the era’s country music performers such as Barbara Mandrell, Lynn Anderson, Dolly Parton, and Anne Murray, all of whom appeared as guests on the program, although performers with more traditional styles such as Loretta Lynn and Mel Tillis were also featured during the show’s run.

Dottie West – Country Sunshine Lyrics
I love you please believe me
I wouldn’t want you to ever leave me
But I was raised on country sunshine
I was raised on country sunshine, green grass beneath my feet
Runnin’ through fields of daisies a wadin’ through the creek
You love me and it’s invitin’ to go where life is more excitin’
But I was raised on country sunshine
I was raised on country sunshine
I’m happy with the simple things
A Saturday night dance, a picture show
And the joy that the bluebird brings
I love you please believe me
I wouldn’t want you to ever leave me
But I was raised on country sunshine
There’s just something bout the mornin’
Makes each day a joy to see
Night time brings a peaceful feelin’ to rest inside of me
I love you please believe me
I wouldn’t want you to ever leave me
But I was raised on country sunshine
Oh I love you please believe me
Uh huh, I was raised on country sunshine
Oh, oh I was raised on country sunshine
