    You should check out her version on the actual Porter Wagoner show. After Dolly left the show Porter Wagoner eventually became bitter and spoke ill of her. Still, when he became bankrupt and was about to sell his catalogue of songs, Dolly bought them. Then she gave them back to him. She’s the classiest class act.

      Yes, Whitney butchered it. Dolly nuanced it and her song had so much more quality. Whitney just belted it out. I’d comment to people that Dolly’s version was better and they’d ask ‘who’s Dolly”?. 🤪

    It was Dolly’s song and Whitney asked if she could record it. Dolly said yes, but didn’t give up the rights to the song so every time Whitney sung it, Dolly got paid. Fun fact, Dolly was driving and heard Whitney’s version and had to pull over. She was so in love with the way Whitney made it her own.

    Dolly is a prolific musician. She has written over FIVE THOUSAND songs and has recorded nearly a thousand of them herself. She also plays the guitar, dulcimer, autoharp, banjo, fiddle, and saxophone.
    Dolly isn't just a musician, she has been in several movies.
    She's a fabulously successful business woman as well, she has a net worth of $650 million dollars.
    She's also a great philanthrapist. Just for starters: Her Imagination Library has given over 100 million books to poor kids. She has paid for uniforms and instrument fees for several school bands. She started her highly successful Dollywood theme part to provide employment to the area, all 11 thousand employees are eligible to have their college tuition paid for. There is a bald eagle sanctuary at Dollywood. Dolly invested her royalties from the Whitney Houston cover of this song in a strip mall serving a black area of Nashville. Her Dollywood Foundation provided $12.5 million to poor folks impacted by wildfires in the Smokey Mountains.
    Dolly has been married to her husband Carl Thomas Dean for 56 years. Part of the secret of their marriage is that he stays in the background and lets her be her. They were unable to have children, which is perhaps part of the reason she has done so much to help other children.
    Dolly also has a sister, Stella Parton, who is a successful musician in her own right, having recorded 36 albums.
    Dolly once was asked if she's bothered by "dumb blond" jokes. Her answer? “I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb - and I'm not blonde."

    Porter Wagoner was in love with Dolly. She knew it but her ambition was strong and she wanted her freedom. How loving she was to write this extraordinary song to Porter which really proved her love for him but that loving him from afar was the best way to do it. Dolly's version is my favorite - so tender and real. For me, the heart packs a stronger punch than a lung. When Dolly sang the song when she was younger, she sings trills, but this version was raw and beautiful.

    Whitney was born in 1963. Dolly wrote this in 1967. Dolly's version is a personal love letter to her friend & boss & Whitney's version was done like the Diva she played in the movie 'the Bodyguard' which is when she debuted the song. Both versions are beautiful, but like totally different songs. Can you imagine writing that song overnight? There is a video of Dolly singing it the first time on UA-cam too. She was a baby back then. LOL Dolly jokes that Whitney made her rich. LOL Elvis wanted to do it too, but he also wanted the rights to it, but she refused to give them to him. She said he could record it but not own it. So, Elvis turned it down. Whitney didn't. LOL Dolly is the richest country entertainer in the world. She has a foundation that has given away millions of books to millions of children & donates millions to charities & after disasters etc. Fun fact, Dolly sings this in an old comedy western 'The best little whorehouse in Texas'. Guess who the madam is? LOL VERY fun movie. Also, in November 2023, she released a new album called 'Rockstar' & she has covered some classics with several huge stars. And she did the halftime show at the Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving game 2023. She is now 77 years young & was wearing a cowboys cheerleader uniform & looked amazing! It's also here on UA-cam.

    Porter was a fading star when he hired Dolly for his TV show. She was just 21 years old in 1967 when hired by Porter Wagoner, whose oldest child was about three years younger than Dolly. She had to get free to pursue her own stardom since she was having number one hits. I recommend her songs: Light of a Clear Blue Morning, Jolene, Little Sparrow, Down from Dover, 9 to 5, Sandy's Song, Try, Together You and I, Here I Am, Hello God and many more.

    Every time I hear her sing this song, I ugly cry. It’s just this achingly beautiful breakup song. And John Denver is one of my all-time favorites. I saw him live in concert in 1991. He’s also written a lot of songs recorded by other artists. ❤

    Dolly wrote the song for herself to sing to a friend she was saying goodbye to. It was sweet with a touch of sadness. Elvis wanted it but she didn’t want to give up the rights. Whitney covered it, singing it to a lover with passion. Different singers to different audiences. No real comparison here.

    My friend, Dolly Parton is a national treasure. Her song composition goes beyond several thousand songs since she started her career. She is also a business woman. Singers like Elvis Presley and I believe Frank Sinatra among others wanted to buy the rights of that song. Her answer was always "no". This was her signature song until Kevin Costner suggested the song to the producers of "The Body Guard" . Well you know the rest. She wanted Whitney to have her song. That transaction was multi- millionaire. Both singers came out winning. But, yes this was a personal song written with much love and the greatest of intentions. You should hear another song of hers. "Coat of Many Colors." Is one of her hits and one of my favorites. Thank you for bringing Dolly to your channel!❤

      It was that criminal "Colonel" Tom Parker who was greedy and wanted to own all rights to this song. I'm sure if she would have talked to Elvis himself they would have come to an agreement. Elvis was a humble person who always cared for other people, just like Dolly.
      But it was a good decision that she didn't give the rights to Parker.

    Dolly wrote this song in the 60’s - waaay before Whitney’s time. The song was chosen for the movie The Bodyguard. And Whitney sang it because, of course, she was in the movie. Thats how Whitney and this song came together. And indeed Whitney knocked it into outer space.

    released by Dolly in like 1974. This maybe 14-15 years ago. Legend says she wrote Jolene same night. After Porter heard her do the song, he let her go, "As long as he could produce the song" There are separate interviews with Kevin Costner, David Foster, Whitney, and Dolly how this song got picked for Bodyguard. Dolly wrote and performs it as she is doing it directly to "one person" for saying good-bye to a former partner in a sweetly gentle but "we done" message.

    You have to remember that this was a goodbye song to Porter Wagner as she wanted to leave the Porter Wagner show. There was a legal fight between them and Porter won, with Dolly having to pay money she did not have. I think there were rights to songs included in the lawsuit. But Dolly paid. Many years later Porter ran into tuff times financially, and despite their rocky past, Dolly truly did love him (as a person, not romantically) because she was there to help him out. They had a friendship.

    Dolly is absolutely amazing -- and yes John Denver still brings tears to my eyes sometimes ... so sad we lost him so young! Yes, she wrote the song to say Goodbye to Porter Wagner -- Elvis Presley wanted to release the song - but for Elvis to he wanted all the rights to the song and Dolly wouldn't do that - so she told Elvis no -- who tells Elvis no!! She did allow Whitney to release the song which did not include losing all rights to it!! So Dolly can sing it forever and ever! She sang it in the movie- The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas that she did with Burt Reynolds.....

    The people who make fun of certain artists are just jealous of those artists' talent. That usually happens to people who dare to be different. Do some research on Dolly and you will come to know that she is a national treasure.
    Dolly wrote the song for herself to show Porter she meant business. Whitney covered it for the movie The Bodyguard that she starred in. That version just happened to become a smash hit.
    Dolly has more than 3,000 songs to her credit. Most of them are written for other artists.
