Dolly donated any proceeds that she made from Whitney’s version to help black communities in Nashville. She is really an angel.
There’s no way way she donated all proceeds from Whitney’s version .. she may have donated some but Dolly made millions off Whitney’s version
@@randipearson4930 A little clarification. She invested SOME ROYALTIES from Whitney's in one black community in Nashville. That investment was an office complex that was named in Whitney's honor.
WOAH 🙌🏾🔥🔥🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@randipearson4930 🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@snowflakehunter 😎👍🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
Story has been told that when Whitney found out she was to perform this song, she reached out to Dolly, and asked for her blessing to record the song. Dolly agreed and told her it would be an honor to have one of the most gifted singers to record her song. After it was recorded and fine tuned, it sent to Dolly, and played for her. It was reported that Whitney's rendition had Dolly in tears. Dolly supposedly said the raw emotion and power Whitney put into the song, would forever be one for the ages, and her new favorite song. Dolly did not want any royalties from the Whitney version, only writing credit, and nothing more. The movie studio and her label insisted she be paid. She agreed but with stipulations that it is donated to a charity/cause of her choosing and any royalty checks go to inner city programs in Nashville. She also has some of the money go into her fund that she uses to help less fortunate people. Dolly is truly an amazing performer and human being. A true living legend
Unfortunately most of the rumors are unsubstantiated by Dolly. She made over 10 million and used some to invest in an office complex/strip mall in a black community in Nashville. She knew the song was going to be recorded and first heard it driving in Nashville. Doesn't lesson how good of a person she is but her exact comments about the song " let people think it's a Whitney song as long as I get the cash "
I highly doubt that because the reason Dolly didn't want to give Elvis this song is because she knew it was a money maker. She then have it to Linda Ronstadt because they were friends and she liked her singing. A writing credit of course gives her money, that's the importance of being credited.
@@MrNegative57 Correct. And according to Dolly she nearly ran off the road she was so floored by Whitneys version.
That’s not true, otherwise she would’ve given the song to Elvis. Dolly is a businesswoman at the end of the day. She didn’t care if people thought it was Whitney’s song as long as she got the cash.
@@MrNegative57 Decided to correct you since you seem to want to correct everybody incorrectly. She made millions off her own recording of this song, so she didnt need the royalties from Whitney's version. In fact most of her money came from her recording of this song, Jolene, and her duets with Kenny Rogers. Well before Whitney. She built far more than a complex. She funded the book and reading program for under privileged children, and an afterschool program for at risk children. She also funded the remodeling of the shimmies on the outskirts of Nashville. The reading and book and after school program is not just in Nashville. It's nation wide. Her fund still supports those programs nation wide. The measly 10 million from Whitney's version doesnt dent the amount Dolly has contributed. Dolly never "almost ran off the road" listening to Whitney sing this, and Dilly never said that. She rejected the first 2 Whitney versions, stating you can do better than this to Whitney, and approved the 3rd version which she listened to at her own studio. She loved Whitney's 3rd version.
Dolly's version is emotional, Whitney's was powerful - both are fantastic
Dolly wrote this song as a tribute to Porter Wagoner. He helped jump start her music career by allowing her to co-host on his show, The Porter Wagoner Show in the 70s. She cut ties with him to sail away on into a fantastic and beautiful solo career. Dolly is truly a national treasure. Her voice is one of a kind, her song writing ability and her music can't be matched. She stays true to herself and her roots. Gives more than she takes. Really, Dolly is one of a kind, can never be mimicked or replaced.
Dolly wrote this for Porter Wagner when she left his show. She also sang it to Burt Renolds when they starred in the movie "Best Little Whore House in Texas." Both of these were before Whitney Houston covered it in " The Body Guard."
Porter Wagoner, yes
“The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas” is flat out my favorite rendition of this song.
But the first cover was from Linda Ronstadt in 1975 and that's the version Whitney covered, not Dolly's.
@@Caprizonica does it matter? The original is dolly.
@@Justaperson354 Yes, it matters because Whitney wasn''t really that original when Linda's the blueprint of her version and she's given an undeserving credit for being so different to Dolly's version.
It was revealed in a interview that near the end of Porter Wagner life he had to sell all rights to his songs because he needed the $. Dolly found out bought all the rights to all his songs and gave them back to Porter. Dolly is a remarkable person.
Ohhhhhh wow 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👀💙
True story.
Yes but Dolly wrote this song for him and gave it to him. It happened when she was leaving as one of his partner/back up singers to continue with her own career
As always with Dolly it isn't just the song, it's the story behind the song. Saying goodbye to the man who gave her a chance in the business, and as always she was gracious when others wanted to sing her songs. One of my childhood best friends moved to Tennessee and works at DollyWood. She says Ms. Dolly is the soul of graciousness and has on multiple occasions (natural disasters, Covid, etc.) when they were unable to open the park the employees get paid anyway. She has worked for DollyWood for more than a decade now... she and her husband. When her hubby had a massive coronary infarction they didn't have to worry about his pay or their insurance... Ms. Dolly organized fundraising for anything that wasn't covered and paid them both their salaries until my friend could return to work. She went back to her old job but hubby couldn't, so Ms. Dolly got him a job doing light office work until he was able to get disability benefits. She is the epitome of generosity and class. She reminds us how Christians are supposed to behave.
Absolutely! Amen!
When Dolly Parton sings this song, It sounds like she's singing to you! When Whitney Houston sung this song, it sounded like she was singing to the whole world. Both songs are amazing in their own way!!
Dolly is truly a national treasure. I’m old enough to have known the Dolly version before Whitney sang it. Whitney did it right for sure but I think I lean to Dolly’s version being my favorite just because I knew it first and I know the story behind her writing it.
Love Ms. Dolly
Dolly is a legend
The dolly version is the OG. Guarantee you it was Whitney’s favorite too. Love that they added it to the scene in Bodyguard before she sings it herself.
Yes! The story behind it!!! Porter
Dolly Parton "9 to 5" for the movie "9 to 5".
She actually wrote this song and Jolene in the same sitting on the same day. She is amazing and a great performer, you should see her live performances. She's a ball of energy to this day.
One thing I've always loved about Dolly Parton is that in everything I've seen her do she always looked like she was having the best time of her life. Yes, a ball of energy. And who in this world has a more beautiful smile?
Richard Keating. No she didn’t. It was just on the same tape. Even Dolly says she probably didn’t write it the same day but very close to each other.
@@frankiek2269 Bobby Bones Show in 2018, Dolly Parton revealed that she wrote "Jolene" on the same day that she wrote "I Will Always Love You".
@@doreenkaypierce I heard her say way before that show that she just had them on the same tape. I don’t think she is sure one way or the other since it was so long ago.
@@doreenkaypierce Dolly Parton debunks tale of writing ‘Jolene,’ ‘I Will Always Love You’ on same day BY MIKE STUNSON MARCH 04, 2022 10:13 AM
For years, Dolly Parton fans have believed two of the singer’s biggest songs - “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You” - were written on the same day. But in a recent interview on the social audio app clubhouse, the iconic singer revealed that isn’t necessarily true.
Asked about her creative process behind writing the two hit songs, Parton gave a new answer to the long-standing tale.
“Well I don’t really know if they were written in the same night,” the 76-year-old singer said in conversation with TED speaker Adam Grant. “When we found an old tape, they were on the same cassette. That could have been a few days apart.” “But they also wound up on the same album. They were certainly written within a very short span of time,” she added.
This has probably been mentioned already, but there was an interview right after “Bodyguard” came out (that I watched live) where Ms. Dolly said this:
“When I initially recorded this song and it hit the charts, I put a bunch of money in the bank. When Whitney recorded it and it hit the charts, I bought the bank.”
She can sing, she can write and she’s a dear person. Everyone loves Dolly, and rightfully so!
And don’t forget funny.
Dolly is hilarious and down to earth. When asked how long it took to do her hair, she commented "I don't really know, I've never been there".
😩😂😂😂😂😂
Kevin Costner asked her if she would let Whitney sing it in the Bodyguard .. Dolly said heck yeah she’s gonna make me a rich woman .. Dolly said when she heard Whitney’s version she was driving and had to pull over and she wept because it was so beautiful.. The Bodyguard is still the biggest selling soundtrack to a movie ever !!
That bodyguard movie is legend
@Harry Betteridge actually dolly said that elvis only sang songs he completely owned
@Randi Pearson WOW! Didn't know that. Your comment made me cry. Says a lot about Dolly Parton. I'm going to Quote her again "If you see someone without a smile...give them yours"
@@divinetime999 awe I lv that !! I didn’t mean to make you cry but it’s a very caring and sweet cry like Dolly felt at that time !! Could u imagine her hearing Whitney (the greatest female vocalist ever) sing her song !! Even more impressive Dolly wrote that song the same say she wrote her famous song Jolene !! Crazy how smart Dolly is .. she says she likes for men to think she’s a dumb blonde in business cause she can take them for a ride financially and they don’t see it coming lol 😆.. I lv her quote “it takes a lot of surgery and makeup to look this cheap” lol 😂
@@randipearson4930 Seriously was crying so much... not just Dolly's impact in music and her song writing abilities but her love & admiration for Whitney touches my heart R.I.P. Beautiful Miss Whitney Houston 😭🙏 She tuned that song into SOLID GOLD!
This reached #1 on the charts in 1974. About 8 years later it was included in the soundtrack for the movie Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (which Dolly starred in) and it reached #1 for the 2nd time. This had never been done before, Dolly was the first ever to gain this accolade. Then 12 years later, Whitney covered it to include in the soundtrack for The Bodyguard. It skyrocketed to #1 again... for the 3rd time... in a 20 year span. Has any other recording artist achieved this incredible feat?!?! I really don't know....
Love that film 🎥 ❤️
Dolly is the GOAT, the bomdiggity, the OG. She’s just the Queen. I ❤️ her. She hits those high notes without even a tiny fidget and has a vibrato that an opera singer would kill for. 💥
Dolly took 2 different versions of this song to the top of the country charts in 2 different decades, then did a duet of the song that reached #15 in yet another decade. There's no one else like her.
That’s amazing
Whitney's and dolly version went to number 1. making it number one in the 3 decade
When asked if she was jealous that Whitney received so much attention for singing her song,
Dolly just said NO! It has made me really rich, so Whitney can have the glory.
Well it was number 1 in like 1970 when Dolly released it too - most don't realize that (since it was from before they were born). Whitney just brought it to a younger audience.
@@melissas4874 oh yeah both great
@@ABtheKreator the media is always trying to put a wedge against people
@@rhonda9275 facts
Dolly is far more than a huge collection of wigs, clothes and makeup. Shes even more than her singing, writing and acting careers. She has established herself as a fabulously hard working, creative and resourceful business lady. The charities she supports and have started are numerous and so far reaching its almost crazy. And to think, it all started with one determined and blessed little lady who knew what she wanted from little up! Truly an amazing story!! God bless all 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
One of the most successful songwriters of our time. She wrote award winners for MANY people.
Dolly used to sing with Porter Wagner then decided to go out on her own and this song was written for their breakup. Dolly gave kudos to Whitney for her cover of this song. My favorite song from Dolly is "Coat of many colors"
Ohhhh man! This is going to be fun
She wrote Jolene the same evening she wrote this. Just knocked them both out in a couple of hours.
Clearly, Whitney hit the notes….but the back story of Dolly’s version hits the emotions!
@@mrgmusicclass Facts learned that quickly
@@melissajones7975 👍🏾🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love this version, the voice is so sad, like she can barely force the words past tears. She wrote it and I don't think anyone else does it half as well.
🧐🤔🤔🤣
I agree with you. Love Whitney's version but I don't think it can beat Dolly singing it herself. ( Wasn't it written for the movie " The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" with Burt Reynolds?)
@THE RENAGADE very true.
@@janzebuski3559 🙏🏾💙💙💙💙💙
@THE RENAGADE Fcts 💨😇🔥🔥
I seen her in an interview and when asked her feelings about Whitney's version she replied " when I did this song I opened a bank account and when Whitney did it I bought the bank"🥰
And then gave so much of it away…. She is a treasure
Whitney’s version is VERY powerful and beautiful. Dolly’s version is full of emotion. You can almost feel the pain. Both beautiful but they both hit different.
Whitney over-performed an emotional song
I don’t think she over performed it. She just had a powerful version. Where Dolly’s was emotional. Both beautiful.
Whitney's vocal acrobatic cover is technically great and stunning...but Dolly's has always had my heart. I can feel the real tears in her song. I would listen to Dolly singing this and cry each time. She makes me feel the song, it tugs my heart....which is the truly great version.
I find myself agreeing strongly- I know I must have heard the original at some point in the 70s or so, but not that I really paid attention to...
And of course Whitney's when the movie came out was absolutely everywhere, and I could mindlessly sing along to myself...
But when I listened to this by sheer chance and time this morning I was suddenly fully aware of the lyrics as tears welled up in my eyes, and I realized what was truly being sung and what that meant to ME.
I had to wipe my whole face after and play back the video to listen to the reaction itself after I recovered my thoughts.
Dolly made this song REAL, and the pain of having to go for the other person as well as yourself hit home.
You have to know a few things about Dolly. She has a wicked sense of humor about her looks. First off, she loves wigs and wears them on stage. She was once called a dumb blonde by the press. She said in an interview that she didn't care what they said cause "I know I am not dumb, and I know I am not really blond!" She has said "It costs a lot of money to look this trashy"
Lol 😂 she’s a spit fire 🔥 love ❤️ it. 👏🏾👏🏾
@@flowerpink33 lol ohhhh ok
Thanks Mary
She said it took a lot of money to look this cheap!
@@mariapittaway420 😩😩😩
And Dolly never cared that anyone thought that this was Whitney's song. So long as the check cleared in her name. Dolly is a philanthropist at her very being. She donates to the underprivileged in her Hometown around the areas of Tennessee and Pigeon Forge, TN where she has her theme park and waterpark, in general, which is by far amazing. I strongly suggest even if you are not a fan of country music go to the theme and water parks they are amazing. I want to call it top-tier-level great. She even moved her original house to the theme park. It is nothing more than a little shack no bigger than a small one-bedroom apartment. To see how she grew up to become the woman that she is when I say she grew up with nothing it's the truth.
Dolly’s is a love ballad.
Whitney’s is a power ballad.
They can’t be compared, because they both are amazing. But Whitney’s version is something that literally changed the world. The sheer power that flowed from her lungs when she sang that song will bring a tear to anyones eye.
She was the original writer! She tells people herself that Whitney blew it up! Lol
She sang this live, on stage without autotune . . .
I absolutely love when you realize that last high note was also originated by Dolly. She made sure Whitney respected her song. 💗
Dolly is a great singer/musician/songwriter, and a great philanthropist as well. She literally opened Dollywood specifically to supply decent jobs to the community, and donates more money monthly than I will probably make the rest of my life. She donates to the right places, too. Places that actually show results. I think she is universally loved for one reason or another by everyone.
Dolly is such an amazing talent, brilliant and so, so giving. Such a down to earth blessing. If you want something that will tug at your heartstrings until it unravels like a sweater, check out her, "Coat of Many Colors" song.
Just beautiful!
Agreed! One of my favorites!
Yes Amanda DP is goat 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Check out the movie . You will cry
Dolly’s Coat of Many Colors is a true story from her childhood. It’s almost Christmas time and her Hard Candy Christmas would be a good one for you to react to soon too.
On another note you are killing it with the subscribers AB!! You are getting close to 15k!! 😃
Those are my two favorite Dolly songs for sure.
Lea I’m sorry I’m late late smh 🤦🏾♂️ Bit yes we hit 15k!! On our way to 16k!!! Thank you
When Coat of Many Colours came out it helped me to realise that even famous people can start out in as broke a family as what I grew up in, handmedowns patched clothes was most my childhood
@@darrylblanch8463 ohhhhhh it’s coming
Yes Hard Candy Christmas is a great one.
Both versions of this song won music awards. Both were amazing.
She also sang the song to Burt Reynolds in Best Little Whorehouse in Texas! That’s where I heard it for the first time. She’s amazing and I’m proud to live in TN, her home state. We love our Dolly! ❤
If I remember correctly, this was the farewell song she sang to Porter Waggoner when she split from his show and group.
I absolutely love watching people who've never heard Dolly before listen to her for the first time. This stuff was the soundtrack of my childhood and is a large part of the soundtrack of my life. Her music means a lot to me but there's no way I would remember the first time I listened to her, so seeing other people experience it for the first time is such a treat. Unrelated, I saw an interview once where Dolly joked that she didn't care if Whitney Houston got the credit for the song as long as she got the cash. She's not only classy, kind, generous, talented, and lovely, she's funny too.
Mind blown!!!!! What’s a talent 🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥
Just love hearing Dolly sing this song. It hits you in the heart ❤️. She is a living legend. She's still loved today. Simply Amazing she is. This song is absolutely fabulous when she sings it
I love that Dolly wouldn't give up any publishing rights to Elvis. Elvis Presley wanted to record "I Will Always Love You." The story is that Elvis showed interest in recording the song, but his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, wanted a share of the publishing rights, which Dolly Parton didn't agree to. As a result, the collaboration didn't happen.
The only song to hit #1 on the charts three times.
This version.
Whitney's version.
And again when Dolly sang it in a duet with Vince Gill.
She wrote it to Porter Wagoner when leaving his show as a farewell.
I was going to say just this. I remember the show and this performance.
Ohhh wow thanks Op!!!!
@@lisaseverance6785 wow that’s wild
I love Dolly so much. Elvis wanted to sing this, but his management said they would have to buy the rights from her. She said no. Everyone thought she was crazy saying no to ‘the king’. She later let Whitney cover it but retained the rights to it.
Another great reaction! Dolly is a great song writer and amazing human. Look into how many books she has put into the hands of children!
🙌🏾👀🔥🔥🔥
Dolly is a country legend for sure. She's also pretty dang funny. Watch the movie 9-5. It was her movie debut and she was a hoot.
I recommend "Islands in the Stream". It's a duet with Kenny Rogers and was a cross-over hit when it was released. It was popular on non country stations, including the ones I listened to.
👀
You know that was a beengest song actually
written by the BeeGees as well.
@@gemmaluescher-verseckas1243 🤔???
Island in the Stream was written by the Bee Gees
She used to sing this at the end of her variety show. Love her version!
Facts 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
"Joshua" is a fabulous song by Dolly! Great reaction to her wonderful song! I was so happy when you realized that this was that song and that dolly wrote it!
One of the Greatest songwriters ever. Didn't like her when I was a kid...then I grew up and listened to them. Peace, Love!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dollys version is in the movie too - it is playing in the bar when Whitney’s character says these songs are depressing
I watch faces when I listen to people sing. She is one that it looks so easy for her to sing that. The righteous Brothers unchained Melody is another one of those where he just opens his mouth and it's so clean and flawless it's like he's not even trying
AB you are a great singer yourself! Fabulous range!
Dolly said she was so happy that Whitney did this song, she said she made her a lot of money! (That she donated all of it)
Dolly wrote this and Jolene in the same night. Dolly is a legend. Whitney's version was awesome but she sang it with force and power but Dolly sang it from her heart and it had meaning.
OMG now that’s wild
I agree! This is a tender love song and Whitney's voice is much too powerful for this. Frankly, I can't even bring myself to listen to Whitney's version.
@@pinky2245 I can. I love them both Dolly and Whitney.
@@pinky2245, I agree. Although Whitney ( rip) could sing beautifully......she overhang this song, she was more about showboating/ word surfing showing off her pipes than actually just singing the song, the way it was meant to be.....soft, tender heartfelt emotions of saying goodbye. IMHO
@@texasgirl6000 Thank you, I totally agree. Dolly's version came from her heart, Whitney was only putting on a show. No disrespect, but it was not a good song for Whitney.
She wrote “Jolene” and “l will always love you” on the same day.
WTH 🤯🔥🔥🔥🔥
I did not know that
@@ABtheKreator she found the demos on the same cassette almost back to back
She wrote this, and the original holds a unique charm. The woman is so talented. Great reaction.
Thank you 🙏🏾
Dolly grew up dirt poor in the hills of Tennessee. He father was a coal miner and she had nothing but her parents and siblings. However she did get a guitar and that is how she rose out of poverty. However, she was blessed with amazing musical talent in every aspect. She has never forgot her roots and is still humble and thanks God. 😍
Both ladies kill this song. Whitney was a power house that had this song rip through your soul and emotionally bring you to your knees. Parton's was delicate, sweet and effortless...pretty sure it could move an angel to tears. Both have made me cry lol. Thank you for your reaction sir, your time is appreciated.
Thank you!!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥
She has a song coat of many colors.The movie is even better.
Dolly is a national treasure! I have seen her perform in person. She played like a dozen instruments and tells hilarious jokes snd stories!
I just found your video and you are GREAT! You're so theatrical! It makes it even more fun to listen to one of our favorite songs to watch you!
I wondered why I felt like I knew the song the first time I heard Whitney singing it then I remembered that this was a song that Dolly had written years earlier. Whitney Houston sang this song in the movie Bodyguard in which she starred. Kevin Costner (producer and male lead in the film) had picked another song for Whitney to sing but as it turned out, that particular song was already being used in a movie that year so since he had always really loved this Dolly song, he decided this would be the song that Whitney would sing in the movie. Whitney didn't want to sing a "country" song because she said it was not a genre that worked with her voice. Costner said he would help her make the song her own (he is also a singer/songwriter) and this song saved Whitney's slumping career and became her number 1 best selling song of all time. I love this version of this song and I also love Whitney's. Dolly wrote this song to her singing partner who she was leaving because she wanted to take her career in a different direction. She loved that man but it was just time for a change and a solo career. BTW Dolly wears wigs. I love the movie Bodyguard but when it came out, critics didn't like it and didn't like Costner or Houston's performances. More Dolly trivia...she is Miley Cyrus' Godmother.
🙌🏾😮🔥🔥🔥🔥
This song is also in the Dolly Parton movie "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" - which is a truly fun movie.
@@professionalvampire1 oh ok I ll have to watch it
This is Mrs. Ace X. Critics can suffer with a great lack of ability to know what the people will love. I love The Bodyguard movie. I thought that the acting was all good.
I thought it was a very good movie on all counts and I love Costner as an actor so it is one of my favorites.
Dolly wrote this and "Jolene" in the same day. Jolene was about a bank teller who flirted with Dolly's husband. Dolly has been with her husband now for 56 yrs
I love your reactions! They are so real. Thank you 💕
Even more impressive than Dolly writing over 5000 songs is doing so even though she cannot read sheet music.
I love Whitney, but I’ll always love Dolly’s version better!🥰🥰🥰
🙏🏾💙💙💙
I chuckle because when I heard Whitney sing it I was like wait, that's Dolly's song. Yep I am that old.🙂
Whitney's is the first time I heard this song, so it impacts me a lot, but I love Dolly's version too, and the fact that she wrote it is awesome.
After Jolene and this, "9 to 5," fills out my personal trifecta of Dolly Parton hits. X3
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dolly wrote this as a good bye to Porter Wagner when she left his show. He was bitter and sued her but years later when he ran into tough times, Dolly bought rights to a lot of his songs he was selling to live on. They weren’t worth that much but Dolly bought them for much more that they were worth to help him out. They then reconciled. Heart of gold.
I love both versions, and they both hit in different emotional places for me based on the styles. Both bring me to tears every time. Dolly is truly a treasure and so very classy. If you haven't seen it watch her Barbara Walters interview.
She wrote this in the late 60s Elvis wanted to buy this song she said no so she kept the song and Whitney brought life to it. ❤️
Dolly sang on the Porter Wagoner show for 7 years, then decided to go out on her own. She told him she was leaving and he didn't want her to go. They argued for weeks until she finally gave up, went home, wrote the song, then sang it to him on the next show, which was her last. It reached #1 on the charts in 1974. In 1982 she sang it in the movie "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" and it reached #1 again. In 1992 Whitney Houston sang it and it reached #1 a third time. She's written some tragic songs that are real tear jerkers. "Me & Little Andy" is one of those. See it here: th-cam.com/video/xRriGGC68A8/w-d-xo.html . "Down From Dover" and "The Bridge" are two others.
She wrote Jolene the same day she wrote this, too.
Correct I stat that in one of my recent Dolly videos as well 🙏🏾
Dolly wrote this song about leaving Porter Wagoner's show and leaving as his singing partner. Dolly thought a lot of Porter (from West Plains, MO), but had to break her contract to leave and go out on her own as a solo act. Dolly offered this song to Elvis Presley, but Presley's manager Colonel Parker insisted on Dolly giving co-writer rights to Elvis. Dolly refused, and recorded it herself. It was a huge hit for Dolly.
Dolly Parton has written songs that have made the careers of MANY artists in all genres. She is talented and a legend.
Dolly is truly a beautiful person...all the way through. She's used her fame and musical earnings to help countless people. She also has a great sense of humor. When asked what she thought about Whitney making a huge hit out of her song, Dolly was reported to have said, "When I sang the song, I took it to the bank...but when Whitney sang it, I BOUGHT the bank!" Every time the song is played, Dolly's cash register rings. :-)
Very true!!!!!! 🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥
Sha is blessed by God, in all she does.
Want to hear Dolly go wild? Her cover of "Mule Skinner Blues" got a Grammy nomination in 1970. (studio version is best)
Ohhhh ok ok thanks
My favorite Dolly soon got.
You make me laugh! I wasn’t going to watch any more music reviews but I did and kinda love you!!!
From a musician s standpoint point Dolly has a great, subtle vocal range & a great sense of rhythm
Whitney Houston, as great as she was, only did COVERS. Dolly is pure genius.
Difference between a singer and an artist.
Agreed, but Whitney‘s voice is the most amazing one I’ve ever heard in my lifetime! Hands down.
Everyone has their own talent.
@@lisaspikes4291both is!
Her song Coat of Many Colors please. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing -- Loved every moment! :)
One of my favorite movies is Smoky Mountain Christmas starring Dolly. She plays a singer songwriter living in LA from the mountains and she wanted to spend Christmas away from the city and paparazzi. Her friends cabin had some squatters. Several children who had escaped foster care and were living up in the mountains alone. You're Beautiful to Me is one of the sweetest songs ever. She just sits around writing songs for everything. Want to tell a story sing a song, teach, sing, work, sing, express your feelings, sing.
She sings like an angel. Makes me cry everytime I hear this song because she wrote it for her duet partner and mentor Porter Wagoner.
🙏🏾💙💙💙💙💙
9 to 5!!!!!! The official video version. Also, you can’t do Dolly reactions without Islands in the Stream with Kenny Rogers
She's a doll baby !!! Genuine. Caring. Talented. Beautiful. Dolly wrote the Whitney Houston hit. ♥️♥️♥️
Dolly is Amazing. She once wrote 3 top 20 hits in just an hour.
Amazing woman.
Priceless when you realized what you were listening to 😂
I think it's funny how all you reactors say, "Whitney Houston!" when they start to hear this song. I grew up with this version so when The Bodyguard came out and I heard Whitney start singing this I shouted "Dolly Parton"! LOL!
Facts! Different ages in music will do that to ppl lol
It’s all love though! Both are great
Dude, you are awesome. Dolly is cool and I appreciate your review! God bless you!
The song that Whitney Houston made famous was a Dolly tune. Thank you for not caring what color the artist is.. You appreciate good music no matter where it comes from.. You are the best
😂🤣😂 "She wrote everything!" Seriously, she had no issue with covering other artists songs too.
Lmao 🤣 she had to write it all lol
Dolly is one in a million!!! Love her and wrote it for Porter Wagoner, 🎸🎼🙏🌹💐🎶⚘♥️🙂🦋
Thank you, ⚘👍🌹♥️🎸🎶🦋
She also Co-Starred with Burt Reynolds in a Movie called the "Best Little Whore House in Texas". It's a hilarious movie and she song this to Burt's character in the movie. That's why when Whitney sang it in the Bodyguard Movie it was ineligible to win an Academy Award for best song. Dolly is tremendous 😻
Love you ! I hit the button !! I heard an interview with Dolly she said the first time she heard Whitney do this she was driving and she had to pull over and just listen. Great musician and fabulous person Thanks for introducing her to your audience.
Yes it's Dolly's song. She's amazing. She's written about 3000 songs for her and other artists. So 😎 cool
Ohhhhhhh wow thanks 🙏🏾
You really want a treat, do some of the TRIO, Dolly, Linda and Emmy Lou... 3 of the best together- totally mesmerizing!!!!!
Uh ok!!! Thanks
"Rosewood Casket" makes me cry
The girls of 70s country were a force.. Don’t forget Loretta, Crystal, Sylvia, Reba, Tanya.. oh! BRO! Wanna hear a sad song? Tanya Tucker’s “what’s your mama’s name” gets me every time..
Man I love your reaction!!!! I 've been Listening to Dolly since 1964 or 1965. First saw her on the Porter Wagner Show. Any keep on doing what ya doing!
When my dad died, I was out of state and did not make it back before he died. I arrived at the hospital the next day and got his belongings. Went to our house and found the keys to his car. For some reason turned it on to the very start to this song. Collapsed to the ground crying. Was his favorite singer singing his favorite song. Cried through the whole song. Well played dad. Well played.
Dolly Parton wrote so many songs that nobody knows she wrote she's a fantastic songwriter and nail on the head
FACTS 🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dolly's 1977 album Here You Come Again was, for me, the pinnacle of her career. She had all these stunning vocalists that she was up against, and she flew by many. Vocal forward groups like Steve Miller Band, David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, Steely Dan and Heart all released albums that year, and greats like Barry White and Marvin Gaye were in the charts.
👀🔥🔥🔥🔥 All them artist are fire lol
I absolutely love your reactions ❤
I'm 53, I have loved listening to Dolly my entire life. She came from dirt poor but loving family to being 1 of the greatest of all time & still is humble & kind.
