At age 16, Joni sang two songs with her dad: “Don’t Cry Joni” and No. 1 country hit “Touch The Hand.” Joni was one of just three duet partners to score hits with her dad–The others being Lynn and Ronnie McDowell.
A 1976 full-length solo album on MCA Records followed, but it failed to replicate the success of her father-daughter duets.
