I know this song by Whitney Houston but when I found out it's Dolly Parton who is the original singer I fell in love with the original. Dolly captures more emotions, her voice is like a velvet and it fits this song more.
Breaks my heart what a wonderful voice my dad loved her I played it at his funeral the words mean so much especially as she says it I cry for my dad every time miss you dad xx
Well, I must admit it's the first time tonight I'm taking a look at the original version(s) of "I will always love you" by its writer. I've always thought it was Whitney's song, even though it was written by Dolly Parton. Dolly Parton looked so kitsch to me - I'm French and don't know much about country music. And then, tonight, I was watching the videoclip for "We are the world", wondered who the attractive bearded guy was (Kenny Rogers) and then watched his duet with Dolly on "We've got tonight". Didn't know Dolly at all but loved the funny joke about "Who needs Sheena Easton", her teasing smile and the complicity between the two. I'm just discovering who she is. And I find her very touching behind the excentric look, the hair, the big lips and boobs (she was very cute when she was young). I love her voice, the sensitive way she sings her own song. Much more powerful and moving than Whitney's (that I love, though). I'm going to listen to everything she's done! Thanks for sharing! :)
The same happened to me, I'm a big fan of Dolly now. You should watch her interview with Barbara Walters, in that interview she explains why she wears wigs and eccentric outfits, because she wants everyone to recognize her. Iconic artists like Dolly have done the same, some examples Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley.
Same thing here.. This is the first time I have heard the original version.. I fell in love with Dolly Parton today.. My goodness! Lol I think I've watched every video of her singing this song. 803SC
You should listen to Dolly and Porter Waoner singing ' The pain of Loving you' Also ' That was before I met you' .. 'We found it' ... 'Run that by me one more time' ..and The right Combination' and if you know anything about body language you can clearly see that they were in love. The intimate glances, flirting and the chemistry between them is magical. I have no doubt that the rumours of a love affair are well founded. She wrote ' I will always love you' for Porter when she was leaving his show after 7 years to further her career. She kept her promise to always love him and was at his bedside, with her hand over his heart , singing ' I will always love you' when he died, aged 80 yrs.
I always cry when Dolly Parton sings this song I Will Always Love You she is so sincere the song is so heartfelt. She is a true Entertainer who always gets her point across I remember this song frokthe movie "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas," which starred Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds she was amazing and when she sang the song in that movieI cry every time I hear the song. Great actress out standing performance; She was so sincere and believable I cried when she left Bert Reynolds. Dolly the world will always love you. Bravo encore🎉 every song she ever sang is a winner.🇺🇸🎇🎇🎇🎇✌️ spectacular!
There's been some great country lady singers but Dolly your the top doll.this song I have listened to for over forty years and probably the best song,love it still in 2021.
This song by Dolly is a country (ballad ) aka love song. I don't mind covers. I just don't like it when people always says it's a Whitney Houston song. Dolly not only wrote it as it's her song about a real story going all the way back to 1974. Oh yes Whitney did make it her own but many times I prefer thee original then any cover. When songs get recycled people forget whom the original artist and song were performed by. I love the way she sings it as it was country song not pop etc
I personally like this version better - just in the sense that it's a sad song. I love Whitney Houston, but I didn't get that it was about a girl leaving her lover when she sang it. I understood it better when I heard this version.
@@alyssapain4537 Actually this isn't the kind of love song you are thinking of. She wrote this song for her manager. He didn't believe it was wise for Dolly to get married. He thaught it would hurt her career. Well she did get married and hid it. She's been married to her husband all this time.
@@alyssapain4537 totally at first never crossed my mind that this were a breakup song. All I knew were the whitney version then I came here then dolly's clearly noted breakup really clearly. I know to most ppl whitney popularized the song but Dolly's is the OG actually this one is more tasteful really heartfelt.
30 years ago, a man and I fell in love. We never quite managed to be single at the same time. We missed it by months. We saw each other at a funeral last summer. On the way out, we hugged tight, and acknowledged our star-crossed status. *sigh*
Obviously Whitney Houston is one of the greatest singers ever. But the original composition of this song is awesome too. This is just a beautifully written song
So easy to see why Dolly had not one but two number one hits with this song before Whitney sung it. Dolly had already made million's from it and made even more by letting Whitney borrow her song and then also making Dolly Parton the only person in history to have had a triple number one hit with the same song. Dolly is a smart women as well as the greatest singer/songwriter in history.
I love this song I will all was love you you have a wonderful voice and I know Kenny Rogers all ways be in our hearts I love your and Kenny Rogers music always love you
While i agree Dolly does not have the power in her voice that Whitney has, i gotta say that i think Dolly's version of the song is far better, she has more emotion in her little finger than Whitney has in her whole body. This is how the song should be sung. Dolly all the way.
I think both versions stand by themselves both are great but I prefer Dolly’s version more so because you can hear the words and understand it better where as most of Whitney’s version is basically pro longing the love part where as Dolly wrote the song and sung it the way she intended. Either way both versions are great.
this comment gives off bad vibes. They are different versions Whitney’s still has emotion I- r u deaf? Or r u deaf when it comes to black women singing👀. Dollys is a calmer emotion Whitney’s is bold emotion. There is no “this is the way the song should be sung” people obviously liked Whitney’s since it over shadowed dollys.
@@candlemelt Whichever version of the song people prefer is a matter of personal taste so arguing over which version is the best , is pointless. Personally, I prefer Dolly's version because it was written by her from the heart for a special person in her life whom she loved dearly i.e Porter Wagoner whose show she performed on for 7 years. It is not only her voice, but the feeling and emotion thay inspired her to write the song is what captures my heart.. I heard her introduce the song once on stage by saying " In everybody's life there is always a special person that they love more than anybody else in the world , and I wrote this song for that special person in my life". She was referring to Porter Wagoner whose show she worked on for 7 years.
Dolly conveys such confidence and emotion singing this song. But most of all the comfort and nurturing is there as well. One of the best songs ever and I’m a die hard metal head
Dolly wrote this song for Porter Wagoner who gave her the first big break on his weekly Grand Ole Opry tv show that was watched by millions of people. She stayed on the show for 7 yrs and it was a love hate relationship. Looking at them singing duets like ' The pain of loving you' and' Run me over that one more time' the chemistry between them is magicsal. It is evident they really loved each other. However they fought a lot over their music and production so much that Dolly decided to leave the show and move on. Wagoner wouldn't hear of it and Dolly decided that the only way she could get him to listen was to write the song to let him know that her going did not mean she would stop loving him. Porter filed lawsuits against her claiming a % o
Of her earnings i.e a €3 million lawsuit. Dolly settled out of courtfor €1 million. They didn't talk for yrs but eventually became great friends again . Dollykept her promise to always love him and she was at his bedside , holding his hand and singing this songto him, when he passed away in 2007, age 80 yrs.
20-09-21......siempre será mi favorito 😍😍😍😍.... alguien escuchando en plena PLANDEMIA...FALSA BKN...NOM...??????Y NO ME VACUNARE CON ESA SUSTANCIA TOXICA... TRANSGENICA.....SALUDOS DE PERÚ.
All these people.. i didn't know Dolly sung it first ... she WROTE it .. about something that actually happened to her .. cant beat that emotion no matter how good the vocals.
Her first recording of this was heard by Elvis and he told her he was going to buy it exclusively and offered her a REALLY big sum for the song. Dolly said....n o. He supposedly DOUBLED the offer and she still said no and Elvis was miffed. This song has made Dolly many millions of dollars and has been covered by Whitney and so many others. People thought she was a dumb blonde but as Dolly herself said, "I'm not dumb and I"m not blonde."
I didn't know it's Dolly's song, all the time I thought she just sang a cover to this film... WOW, just wow, I love this❤ Anyway she deserves more fame with this song than Whitney, it's HER song and Whitney just stole it!!!😭
sveťa K Jolly ol' Dolly was WELL aware of 'THE VOICE' Whitney, covering her song. In fact, she okay'd it.....and it made Whitney more famous and Dolly more rich -- so it worked out on both ends.
sveťa K I call BIRD SHIT on that! There is nothing like a simple Google search engine that will allow those to briskly educate themselves on their favorite artists' writing cred. Bottom line, Whitney made her ass richer and in return she will go down as THE VOICE whom covered a country legend's song -- and sang it better than her.
TwiNlethapy But no with such emotions... Anyway, I know Whitney is one of amazing singers of all the time, but you know, it isn´t it always about VOICE. But ok, it´s your opinion :)
If you want this song screamed out, I agree, Whitney's version is better. But if you want this song sung absolutely beautifully and deeply, sensitively from the heart, hands down, Dolly Parton will always and forever be, not only the creator of, but also the Master of 'I Will Always Love You'.
@princesslilianza1 I do agree that Dolly's way better than Whitney is or will ever be. She sang the song the way it ought to be sang, the way she wrote it. She is so incredible. & yes Bieber needs to go die. But as for the "before your time" comment, i'm 15 myself, we're not all uncultured. A select few of us have taste. (; Thanks for the comment.
This is so beautiful and soothing..original is always the best..rather that d other end Whitney Houston’s screaming…different is original song gives you an heartache..Whitney give you an headache…
I can't believe she ruined your own song it was so beautiful when she sang it in 1973 but now she's just overreacting and yep she ruin your own song by trying to look glamorous instead of loving😢😢😢😅😢😂🎉😢 that's terrible
Dolly Parton's version in 1974 was so much better than now she's so pretentious now Whitney Houston she just screamed the song it wasn't a good Friday my goodness she ruined the Dolly for institute Whitney Houston for making the song so ugly
@biebergirl563 Dolly Parton is a WAY better singer than Whitney Huston. She was famous before Whitney was even born. FYI...this is how they sung back then. Get a life, or at least research before you say stuff. Oh, and Bieber sucks. Go listen to that crap and leave the classics alone. This is way before your time and mental capacity to like.
I know this song by Whitney Houston but when I found out it's Dolly Parton who is the original singer I fell in love with the original. Dolly captures more emotions, her voice is like a velvet and it fits this song more.
Dolly Parton wrote this song for Porter Wagner
Yes its Dolly song though Whitney popularized it.
Just been played at my dad's funeral. Dad previous country and western dj
Her vocals don't fit the song, her vocals are the song
@@franky-fr9ow More importantly, she made a whole lot of money for Dolly with it.
Breaks my heart what a wonderful voice my dad loved her I played it at his funeral the words mean so much especially as she says it I cry for my dad every time miss you dad xx
I think this is one of her best live vocals
She "plumb" and just the way I like her here! voice is still got that pureness in it..I will always love this song no matter how old she gets!
I will always love you Dolly Parton.

She is as beautiful as her voice is.
Yes I'm still listening to this song in the year of 2023 I will always love you dolly parton
Great performance! Sinatra-esque phrasing!
Spine-tingling stuff!
Dolly is among the great stars, God bless her!
Definitely spine tingling especially starting at 2:00 minute mark with the background gave me tingles in my spine & chills whew fantastic.

Obviously Whitney Houston is one of the greatest singers ever. But the original composition of this song is awesome too. This is just a beautifully written song
Whits version has the power and Dollys has the emotion.
Whitney one of the greatest? Maybe compared to Beyonce, but Whitney was not so unusual and special.
сори, эту красивую и проникновенную песню написала Белая женщина,извините за срыв повестки.
