"Potential New Boyfriend" is a song written by Steve Kipner and John Lewis Parker, and recorded by musician Dolly Parton. The song peaked at number 20 on the U.S. country singles chart.[1] It was released in May 1983 as the only single to be released from Parton's album Burlap & Satin. The song was also popular in discos and dance clubs, and in addition to the standard 45 RPM single, an extended-play dance remix single was released. The single was also accompanied by one of Parton's first music videos, which was directed by Steve Barron.
The record is notable in being Parton's first song to be more successful on a chart other than country music, peaking at number 13 on Billboard magazine's Dance Chart. The song was covered by American actor and drag performer, Willam Belli. The song is featured on his debut album and released as the ninth single via iTunes on July 26, 2013.[2]
