Heartbreaker (Dolly Parton album)


Heartbreaker is the twentieth solo studio album by Dolly Parton. It was released on July 17, 1978, by RCA Victor. Released following the huge pop crossover success of Here You Come Again, Heartbreaker was designed as an even more direct aim at the pop charts, with several of its songs verging on disco. The title song, a ballad written by Carole Bayer Sager, topped the U.S. country charts, and became Parton's third top-forty pop hit, while the follow-up single was the double-A-sided "Baby I'm Burnin'"/"I Really Got the Feeling", with "Baby I'm Burnin'" targeted for pop airplay, and "I Really Got the Feeling" for country. The formula was successful again, with the single reaching #1 on the country charts, and #25 on the pop charts.
Disco remix singles of two of the album's songs, "Baby I'm Burnin'" and "I Wanna Fall in Love" were also released and received significant airplay in clubs and discos at the time.
The album cover, a gatefold design depicting Parton in a series of surreal, dream-like images, was designed by graphic artist Ed Caraeff, who'd also designed the cover art for Here You Come Again.
The album stayed at #1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart for nine consecutive weeks. It went on to be certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.
The song "Nickels and Dimes" was later covered by Nana Mouskouri on her Roses Love Sunshine album.
