Dolly didn't write this song for Whitney. She just wrote the song about the trials and tribulations she had with Porter Wagoner. Whitney Houston covered it many years later

Dolly Parton didn't write it for Whitney Houston. She wrote it when she wanted to go out on her own after being the "girl singer" in his show. It was years before Whitney sang it.

@custardflan 2 года назад

Dolly wrote it for/about Porter Wagner, to be honest. This was her farewell song to him first performed on the Porter Wagner Show. Willie Nelson also covered this.

@coffenut 2 года назад

Dolly wrote this son in 1974 as a way to tell Porter Wagoner that she needs to leave the show when he would not let her out of her contract after 7 years. Elvis wanted to record it but his manager wanted half the publishing rights and Dolly said no. Smartest move she made. A number of other artists covered the song including Linda Ronstadt as did Whitney for the movie "The Bodyguard" Dolly is an iconic American treasure. Not only has she been producing number 1 country hits for 30+ years, but she has been producing number 1 hits for multiple artists for just as long. You should really look into her as she is just as good a person as she is a songwriter. She set up the Imagination Library which gives free books to children (over 100M free books so far) as well as hoped people in Tennessee after the hurricanes and wildfires ravaged the area. She has been awarded with the National Medal of the Arts (th highest honor the US Government gives for the arts), inducted into the Country Hall of Fame, 11 Grammy awards, written over 3000 songs, and most recently donated over $1M towards COVID vaccine research development. I look forward to watching you discover her talent.

Dolly’s is sweet and intimate, a tender end to a relationship in which there is still love but their destinies do not lie together. Whitney’s sounds like she’s blasting it out across an airport terminal for everyone to hear, a last-ditch public declaration before her lover flies away. I much much prefer Dolly’s rendition, even though Whitney’s is also incredible.

There is never a need to require that someone choose a version of any song they like best. We are all free to like as many versions of any given song that exists. Some songs are so great that any version is wonderful. I think this is just such a song. I've always loved Dolly's original. Whitney's is very good too. I see no reason to choose one over the other. I like them both very much. With music it doesn't have to be either/or, this one/ that one. With music it can be both/and. For me, that is usually the case.

@cathybrookeburt2616 Год назад

This was Dolly's first performance of this song. She was on the Porter Wagner TV show which she had been starring on. She had decided to leave the show & go solo & Porter was not happy. Dolly went home & wrote this for him. Listen to her do it now, after polishing it up over the years. Just breathtaking. And Whitney was 11 when this happened. LOL Dolly jokes that Whitney made her rich.

Dolly Parton was associated with Porter Wagner for quite awhile. In addition to his musical career, he hosted a syndicated music/variety television program (remember those?) "The Porter Wagner Show" from 1960 - 1981 with 5 different female singers for most of it's run. Dolly Parton was his co-star during 1967 - 1974. As a tween/teen/twenty-something I was more into pop/rock at the time, but my Dad liked it and I vaguely remember the program. Although he was eventually eclipsed as Dolly rose to superstar status, he continued to record, tour, and produce the remainder of his life; releasing his final album in 2007, about 4-1/2 months before his death from lung cancer. It has been reported that Dolly was there with his family when he went on to 'The Great Gig in the Sky'. His funeral was held at The Grand Ole Opry House.

@genekillingsworth8994 2 года назад

Dolly sings it to you and Whitney sings it to the whole world. Dolly took this to #1 in 1974 and again in 1982 (After rerecording for "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas") and did not at all mind the millions in royalties she started raking in after 1992 on Whitney's version. Dolly is first and foremost a song writer. She has written well over 5,000 songs. Nearly a 1,000 of them have been recorded and released according to the most recent totals I have heard.

@tanyapearcy2524 2 года назад

Dolly didn't write it for Whitney. She wrote it as a personal message for her friend/business partner who she was parting from. She had a number 1 hit with it and Whitney covered it years later. Dolly was super proud of Whitney's version. Dolly offers emotion and Whitney offers power

@dortheyc5276 2 года назад

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 Inspirations". Cissy Huston later had a stellar career as a gospel singer.

@seiraeiramasil2302 2 года назад

Dolly said that the song was actually a goodbye letter to a friend and colleague of hers, Porter Wagoner, she use to be a regular on his show, "The Porter Wagoner Show", she started to out shine him and it caused fiction between them, so, she decided it was best her to leave the show, even performed it on his show. The song was a hit with Dolly, years later, Whitney made it a hit again, Dolly actually thanked Whitney for making her more money on her song, lol.

@757optim 2 года назад

Dolly was born in '46 and this video is from 1974, so she would be 28. The song was a Country Billboard #1 twice (1974 & 1982) and was #1 and an international hit with Whitney Houston in 1992.

@wompa70 2 года назад

This is copied from the Wiki article for this song: When the 1974 recording of the song reached number one on the country charts, Elvis Presley indicated that he wanted to cover the song. Parton was interested until Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, told her that it was standard procedure for the songwriter to sign over half of the publishing rights to any song Elvis recorded. Parton refused. She recalls: I said, 'I'm really sorry,' and I cried all night. I mean, it was like the worst thing. You know, it's like, Oh, my God… Elvis Presley.' And other people were saying, 'You're nuts. It's Elvis Presley.' …I said, 'I can't do that. Something in my heart says, 'Don't do that. And I just didn't do it… He would have killed it. But anyway, so he didn't. Then when Whitney [Houston's version] came out, I made enough money to buy Graceland.

Way too much talent in such a little country girl. LOL. In the same interview she talked about how disappointed she was Elvis didn't record I will always love you, but Col. Parker said Elvis didn't record what he didn't own, Dolly was well, to bad because she doesn't sell her songs. One of her first hits was "Dumb Blond" lmao, she isn't. That song alone has made her a millionaire xxxx When WH recorded it Dolly smiled all the way to the bank... I love Dolly so much for all those reasons, not only it she incredibly talented, Shes smart, funny, humble, loving and extremely giving, but I admire her most for knowing what she had and how to use it.

She did try to give it to Elvis, but his manager wanted all the rights to her composition- so Dolly smartly walked away. Whitney picked it up and made Dolly millions. Top composer and producer, David Foster completely rearranged it for Whitney with that dramatic key change mid-song. This was Twenty five years after Dolly wrote the song as a farewell to her employer, Porter Waggoner. You can’t compare for these reasons.

Dolly's version is much better. It really conveys the sadness and sentiment of the lyrics. Whitney's version was good, but overproduced.

@@Deborahtunes Yeah, Parker was "special." Dolly said, she was thrilled Elvis was going to do it & had invited a bunch of family in from out of town, to watch Elvis record it, which Parker knew. Dolly said Parker called her the night before recording (!), demanding 50% (probably figuring she'd be pressured into accepting) & that had it been a song that wasn't so personal to her & that hadn't already been a #1 (Country), she probably would have done it. She said she didn't blame Elvis & doesn't even know if he ever knew why the deal fell through.

I first heard this song in the movie "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas", 1982, when Dolly sings this to Burt Reynolds: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0KjO3YwlhEE.html

Dolly did not write this song for Whitney Houston. Whitney Houston was about being born when she wrote this. This performance is from 1974, when Whitney was about 5.

She didn’t write it for Whitney. I don’t believe Whitney was even born at the time Dolly wrote the song. But she wrote it for Porter Wagner, because she was leaving his show.
