She is still the original Queen lol. It is personal. Every song she has ever written and sang is personal and she means it. She sings with more heart and soul then she gets credit for.

She wrote this song for the man on the stage with her, Porter Waggoner. She sang on his show and decided to leave so she could work on her own. Dolly is an amazing person.

@@eileenbaran7040 No he got all the songs they did together. When he fell on hard times she bought the songs frim bankruptcy court and GIFTED them to him. It is said she visited Porter in his nursing song and actually sang this to him as he died. She then paid the balance of his nursing home bill. So yes--this song is INTENSELY PERSONAL to her. Abd it shows. Dolly is an American treasure

Don’t forget that this is a live performance with all the quality that early 1970s television has to offer.

I love to see people reacting like this when they find out that Whitney Huston didn’t do it originally I get a kick out of it

She’s the writer...great song! She gets all the royalties when people cover it. Whitney Houston covered it. Dolly heard Whitney’s cover while driving & had to pull over. She said it was so beautiful, she started to cry. The guy that just sat down next to Dolly, is Porter Wagner. Dolly was a regular on his show. When she decided to leave this show and go on her own. Mr. Wagner was not pleased. So she wrote this song for him.s As a way of saying goodbye.

This song of Dolly's was already considered to be a country music classic which had gone to #1 twice in two different decades on the Billboard Country Charts before Whitney covered it and it became a worldwide smash and went to #1 on the Hot 100.. Three times this song went to #1 on two different genres of music charts on Billboard.

@@kekwayblaze3176 Dolly Parton was on the Stephen Colbert show not to long ago. She mentioned she wrote songs for other people. He asked her, if any of her songs were covered by another artist and became bigger. She said that was a very good question. The perfect example was her song “I will always love you”... she referred to it, when she sang it, as her little song. She then went on to say when Whitney Houston sang it. She said...she took my little song and made it big and beautiful. She felt so honored.

Just a few years after this song was recorded, my wife’s father died unexpectedly. They were extremely close. He was only 44. She was only 24. After we went to the funeral, we were sitting in the car and I turned on the radio. This song began playing immediately. My wife broke down again, telling me that this was her father’s way of saying goodby and that it was OK to move on. I’ll never forget that moment and this version will always be my favorite.

Who is that? You ask. That is Porter Wagoner. He had a TV show that was on every week for many years in the 1960s and 1970s. He "discovered" and promoted Dolly Parton on his weekly TV show. He was her mentor, promoter, and greatest fan. After 7 years she decided to leave and go off on her own. They argued about it because Porter didn't want her to leave his show. She wrote this song to let Porter know she was leaving. When he heard it at rehearsal that afternoon he cried. She sang this to him on live TV that night while he was 10 feet away. That's the video you reacted to. He said, "You sang that like you sorta mean it". She said "Well, I did sorta mean it". It was the last song she sang on the Porter Wagoner show. Years later when Porter was in the hospital dying, she sat beside him in the hospital with her guitar and sang this to him. They loved each other very much, though they were never lovers. After this aired in 1974 the song hit the top of the charts. Eight years later she sang it in the movie "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" and it hit #1 again. Twelve years later, in 1994, Whitney Houston sang it and it hit #1 on the charts for the third time. It seems that almost all blacks only know about Whitney singing this song and have no idea that a white woman, Dolly, wrote it and took it to #1 twice a generation before Whitney ever heard it.

This is Dolly Parton, she wrote this song and recorded it

Dolly wrote the song back in and took it to # 1, Then she re-recorded it in 1982 for the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas soundtrack and it went to #1 again. She is the first artist in history to do that! Then Whitney Houston recorded it in 1992for the Body Gaurd soundtrack and it was #1 for 14 weeks! Then Dolly re-recorded it as a duet with Vince Gill and took it to #1 again! She wrote the song for the guy you see in the video. His name was Porter Wagoner. She was the girl singer on his show for 7 years but she wanted a solo career and he didn't want to let her go so she wrote him this song, sang it to him and she left the show.

Dolly wrote that in one evening. She has written about 3000 songs.

It IS her song and she DOES mean. She WROTE it so every word comes from HER heart! Whitney sang it in a way that showcased her great voice. Dolly sang it in a way that not only showcased her great voice but that emphasized the meaning of the song! Also, Dolly's version was LIVE so there were no second or third or fourth takes, it was once and done. There also was no tweaking back in the studio to cover any mistakes she made and autotune was a LONG way from being invented. This is just Dolly's amazing voice!

Dolly wrote this for Porter Wagoner who gave her her start in the business. She was leaving his show to go out on her own and wanted to thank him. He initially was ok with it but turned sour on it and her when his ratings slumped without her. But when he was in dire straits and needed cash, he put his entire music catalog up for sale. She bought it and then gave it back to him later as a gift. When he was on his death bed, she would sit with him and sing to him. I Will Always Love You was a number one hit in three decades in a row. 1970s when she wrote it and first recorded it. 1980s when it was on the soundtrack of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. And, then in the 1990s when Whitney Houston covered it and took it to number one. Recently, it was honored in the multi-star video, Forever Country: Artist of Then, Now, and Forever @. She once jokingly said, "Whitney can have the credit, as long as I get the check."

This comes from the heart. Whitney performed it and made a huge hit. Good for them both but it’s Dolly’s song.

It’s been covered many times the most famous is Whitney Houston’s version for the film ‘the bodyguard’. And that bloke who sat next to her is who she sang the song for as they were joint producers for her music but both wanted different directions.

In 1966 or 67, Dolly became a regular performer on The Porter Wagner Show. They fought like cats and dogs (Dolly's words). When her contract was up, Dolly was ready to move on. Porter wanted her to stay, even going so far as to tell her she owed it to him. She wrote this song in one night hoping it would explain how she felt and how grateful she was to him. She sat him down and sang it for him. But he was just too angry. She left the show and went out on her own. Porter actually sued her for the rights to the songs she wrote while under contract with him. And he won the suit. Her songs were legally his. Years later, Porter was sick and broke and mostly forgotten, except in Nashville. He was selling all those songs that he had won. Dolly Parton bought all her songs back from him. Dolly has a beautiful heart full of compassion and forgiveness. She felt no sense of justice or revenge. After buying the songs from him, she gifted them back to him. Even though I loved this song first by Dolly Parton, I also really liked Whitney's version. Whitney Huston's mother, Cissy Huston was one of Elvis Presley's backup singers called "The Sweet Sensations". Cissy Huston later had a stellar career as a gospel singer.

Dolly is a Queen! She wrote over 3,000 songs & counting. Dolly gave a million dollars for covid-19 relief. She has a heart of gold to match her golden talent.

Dolly is a legend, she is one of my favorite country music singers of all times. Her voice made my childood, i love her.

Dolly Parton wrote this song in 1974 to her friend and mentor to say goodbye, Whitney Houston made it popular again in 1992!! And made Dolly rich all over again, even though she was already filthy rich, and didn't need any help! But those royalty checks still pour in to this day! She's not covering a Whitney Houston song, Whitney covered HER song!!! The version you're probably familiar with is the Whitney Houston version from the movie The Bodyguard!!

This was my first time sitting in with you, thank you for allowing me to do that! I enjoyed the time I spent here with you so I subscribed and left a like for you! Whitney Houston did this song for the movie the Bodyguard! I don't think Celine Dion did this song first, I don't think she was even born yet! Or if she was she was only a few years old! Dolly wrote this song and performed it on the Porter Wagoner show in 1974 the year I gave birth to my first child! It was a personal song to her, she wrote it for Porter, she was leaving his show and this was her good-bye to him!

Isn't that the truth? It might be the richest aspect of human history.

This song was Whitney Houston's biggest hit. It was written by Dolly Parton in the 70s for Porter Wagoner because he gave her her start in show business.

Dolly Par -Tun with the accent on the "Par".

She wrote this song to thank Porter Waggoner who gave her a start on his show. He's the man in the blue outfit.

Whitney was 10 years old when Dolly wrote & recorded this song...

this is THE version! its the one which makes me cry - Sorry Whitney, but your version is all about your voice and leaves me cold.

You need to find today's pictures of Dolly , she is still so BEAUTIFUL

The man in the end is Porter Wagoner and who she wrote the song for.

He said, “Yes Queen!” I know that’s right.

People like to comment that Dolly Parton had written over 3,000 songs... What many don't realize is that number was surpassed well over 40 years ago. I have no clue what her current total is You have likely heard many Dolly Parton written songs and just don't know it. She has written songs that have been hits for both male and female singers in almost every genre. She has literally written two number one hits on the same day in only a few hours for both. As great a singer as she is, she is an even better song writer.

It was personal to her she wrote it for the guy shows she was on there on his show with him when she sang this in this video his name is Porter Wagoner he's the guy that introduced her and we'll come out in the end and she wrote it to him for him

The movie " The Bodyguard"... Whitney Houston, did the cover Dolly was Country, and Whitney was Pop.

Celine Dion is a 90's singer. Dolly started in 65 to present.

Dolly wrote that song in one night for Porter Wagner.

The look on his face when he realizes he knows the song...priceless. And yes, Celine Dion did do a cover of this song, though Whitney Houston's from the movie The Bodyguard was a huge hit.

Her voice is like Angels singing in the rafters of the church

My god...your singing voice is something Stanley Kubrick would have been proud of 😂.

It is Dolly Parton's song. She wrote it.

Celine Dion? No, you are thinking of Whitney Houston

She was a legend long before Celine became popular

dolly parton wrote and sang this song then whitney huston did this song in a movie body guard she has been in movies she also has dolly wood in tennessee and she is really large

Thanks for doing your history!

Porter Wagoner's reaction to his show tanking after Dolly left was classic music industry bs. He tried to sue her, spent thousands of dollars for nothing. And then Dolly bought his entire catalogue and gave it back to him. That woman is an angel. For her to be so forgiving to someone who came at her like that. We need to take lessons from Dolly Parton.

That's the man she wrote this song for,Porter Wagner

she has a number ones with this in 70s and 80s then Whitney did it in My Bodyguard movie and hit top spot in 90s

You are probably thinking of Whitney Houston who had a huge hit with it and Celine Dion also did a cover of the song. Dolly Parton is the writer of this song as well as about 3000 others. The most popular movie she was in was 9 to 5 with Jane Fonda and Lilly Tomlin, and she also wrote the theme song for the movie. She also owns a very popular amusement park called Dollywood, in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Dolly is 74 now and still looks and sounds beautiful.

Its was personal, she loved Cole Porter & not romantically, we all know love is real & personal but love for a spouse is different from a friend, sister, mother, brother, etc. but ALL are deep but different degrees ...He wasn't happy about her leaving and when he got older he didn't have the money to buy back his own written music or something to that effect & when Dolly got wind if this she fork out a lot of money to buy them back for him... That tells you all you need to know about what kind of friend Dolly is & how she doesn't forget where she came from and those that helped her with her come ups...she got true grit!

That guy who sit down next to her is the man she wrote the song for! His name was Porter Wagner and Dolly appeared on his show for many years! When she decided to step out onto her own Porter was not happy and they got into a big argument; so she went home and wrote the song I will always love you to Porter; in hopes to explain how she felt he loved the song so much he asked her if he could be the producer on the song and she said yes!

Celine Dion? Lol. It’s always attributed to Whitney Houston. Whitney did it for the 1992 movie “The Bodyguard” starring herself and Kevin Costner. Dolly has said “She didn’t know it at the time, but she had wrote the song for Whitney.”

Celine was only 6 yrs old & Whitney was 11 yrs old when Dolly compose, recorded, & took this song to #1 in 1974 and topped the charts again in 1982 when she re-recorded it as part of the soundtrack for the movie "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas". Then a decade after that, Whitney did a cover & put her own spin on it, as part of the soundtrack to the movie "The Bodyguard" with Kevin Costner, which was Whitney's first film & acting debut.... Dolly did this on live TV, in front of a live audience, decades before autotune or computer aided technology existed. She is also a prolific songwriter, a smart & savvy businesswoman, and most importantly she is an incredible philanthropist. She has a program that gives out free books to children until kindergarten age to help give them a head start on literacy & education. Back at the start of this crazy pandemic, she contributed around one million dollars towards research in finding a vaccine. She literally saved the life a young child actress on a film set they were working on). I think I'm safe in saying that Dolly is one of America's national treasures. She is a living legend & beloved the world over for her music, TV shows & movies, books, & major studio films, etc. Many folks assume Whitney wrote or recorded this first. One of my favorite pastimes lately is watching KZreadrs react to finding out that Dolly is the originator of this beautiful love song. :-) Please go further down this rabbit hole with the following samples of her vast library of music: Jolene (Dolly wrote this song the same day she wrote I will always love you), Coat of many colors (her most autobiographical song), Islands in the stream (her famous duet with Kenny Rogers), & 9 to 5 (she wrote it for the movie of the same name, that she was in - it's a funny movie). I've always preferred Dolly's version over Whitney's. Maybe it's because I heard Dolly's first & grew up with it (I'm 53 now). To me, it's a sweeter, more melancholy song; as it was intended to be a goodbye to her then partner, Porter Wagoner. Whitney's version is more of a in-your-face powerhouse ballad, belted out with her incredible voice to better suit the dramatic & emotional tone of the movie...

I prefer Dolly's version.

Same. Whitney's is a performance and vocal showcase. Dolly's is sincerity, a message. Whitney's choice to do it as a power-ballad is kind of a bit odd if you think about it given the lyrical content. but I also prefer Dolly's voice in general to Whitney's. Whitney is one toned belting. Dolly has done this song in several ways and while this one is my least favorite rendition of Dolly's I still like it. Her fluctuations and headvoice are great.

Yes she been in movies

Hi, I enjoyed your reaction to Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” by calling Dolly the Queen! You realized your mistake when you read the History of the Song written and published by Dolly in 1973/1974. I fell in love with “ I Will Always You” while Dolly was singing to Burt Reynolds in that scene from “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” Movie. I knew Whitney Houston sang the same song in “The Bodyguard”, but I didn’t know Celine Dion also sang “I Will Always Love You”. I will always prefer Dolly’s Version over Whitney’s Version of “I Will Always Love You”.

You’re thinking of Whitney Houston,,, Dolly Parton wrote it... made it a hit,,, then many years later Whitney sang it for the Soundtrack of The Bodyguard and made it a smash hit that remained on the charts for a very long time.

Dolly redid this song as a duet with Vince Gill back in the mid 90's

She did mean it cause the guy hosting the show is who the song is for

I love watching all the reactors that are dumbfounded on how someone could have done a cover of a Whitney Houston song back in 1974 before Whitney Houston was ever even born. I get it though because the dolly version wasn't played all over the airwaves in the last 20 25 years

She is the original singer and songwriter. Look up her songs and success. Unlike many performers..she has kept her profits from success and she is very generous. Her wealth blew me away but it means nothing compared to her as a person. She gives so much away

I'm over 7 minutes in and am waiting to see if he ever figures out Celine Dion is not Whitney Houston. 🤣

This was No. 1 in the US TWICE [very rare and hard to achieve], then No. 1 again for Whitney Houston [about 20 years later].

Of course she’s the original. And she wrote this song too. It was used in the movie “The little whorehouse in Texas”

Whitney Houston stared in a movie titled The Body Guard and she sang this in the movie. Dolly wrote and recorded it and made it famous in Country music, but Whitney Houston's version catapulted it into to world fame.
