      The song I read that it was a goodbye. Is there a connection to Jolene? I mean her man cheating with some other woman and that's why these two songs and the goodbye at the same day?

      Just a slight correction. She said, "People just think of me as a dumb blonde. Well, I'm not really dumb & not really a blonde either." She's written over 4,000 songs, has amassed a huge fortune, employs 1,000 of people & brought her part of TN back from a deep red deficient to being profitable. Her literacy campaign sends any & EVERY child who's parent signs them up a book every month (FOR FREE!) from birth to kindergarten. She's a national treasure in my book!

    Best part of this story is that her and Porter Wagner, whom she wrote this song for, had a falling out afterward and he was pretty terrible to her. Years later he was in major financial trouble and the IRS seized all his property, including his entire song catalogue. Dolly went to the IRS auction and purchased the entire catalogue, then gave it back to him for free. Shows that she truly meant every word of this song!

    She wrote this for Porter Wagoner. She didn't know how to tell him she was leaving the show, so instead, she sang it to him in his office. Throughout the years, he sued her, to which she just responded by giving him a million dollars and continued to care for him. He blew all the money by partying, and tried to sue her again for a catalogue of music she owned. Instead of getting mad and fighting it, Dolly just said, "You can have it all for free". She took care of that man for decades, despite how awful he was to her, and she even went to his death bed and sang to him, holding his hand and keeping him company. This is the essence of unconditional love and the story of her great character. When she said, "I Will Always Love You", she meant it. No matter what he did, no matter how much he failed, she continued to love him until his dying day. Dolly Parton is an incredibly wonderful person.

I never really cared for the lyrics at all, just to the way Witney sings them, but listening to Dolly almost made me cry! I love Witney, but this is another level right here...

      That is a fun analysis. I was thinking too how much I appreciated seeing our history through seeing Dolly at this time. Of course the 90s were an important part of our history too, and the decade would have been nothing without Whitney's version. But it's fun to see the 60s and 70s through this. Her hair is the best part!

She also returned the studio she purchased to get out of his contract, saying it was one of her biggest regrets, hurting him like that. She had to purchase it cause he kept claiming a lot of her property and other funds were his under the studio, so she purchased and later returned it with this songs original lyric sheet on top of the return paper.

      I'm pretty sad Whitney had more views. If only classics like this would be more popular.

      Dolly has said about Whitney's version, “I will always be grateful and in awe of the wonderful performance.” And of course, her famous reply, regarding the issue of people thinking it is Whitney's song: "I don't care who gets the credit, as long as I get the cash."

      @@SpookyKay Racists try to find racials agendas everywhere. It is kinda funny that the peoples that claim they fight racism are actually the true racists.

    Reading through the comments I didn't realize how many people did not know that Dolly wrote this song. I thought everybody knew this fact.

      I think it's an age thing. I was born in the 90's, therefore grew up more with the Whitney Houston version than this version

    You know a song is a timeless classic when multiple versions of it are released and each become legendary.
