Stuff of legends - literally! It would take hours, but Porter Waggoner was a music star in Nashville. Dolly worked with, co-wrote, sang on his show for years. When she decided to split for a solo career, it was a heart-rending time. She wrote this for Porter as a goodbye note to to her partner, and went on to be a superstar - and all-around excellent person. And Dolly (at 73) knocks it out of the park today. She just had a cable special.
PS - That's not a "warehouse", Zack.
As always you blew me away with this. You know what I wish guys. That somebody tells her about your comments and she watches this. This is one of your best of the best. I am shocked.
I think I just watched both of you fall in love with Dolly.
This is the original. She wrote it. I love whitney Houston's cover on the bodyguard album 1991 but this is my favourite.
Not only did Dolly Parton sing this song, she sang it first & wrote it!
Dolly wrote this song when she wanted to leave Porter Waggoner's show and go out on her own. It was written to Porter and how she appreciated the start he gave her on his show. Whitney sang it for the movie "Bodyguard" and later Carrie Underwood covered the song. She did an amazing job.
Dolly not only sang this, she wrote it. Whitney Houston got her permission to sing this into an enormous hit.
I love the way she can sing this and make it sound so great without having to belt it out loud to show off her voice. She just sounds good no matter how she sings.
🙂 Dolly wrote & owns this song. She released it in late 1973. She allowed Whitney Houston to record it in 1992.
Live, no auto tune, pure talent. Whitney belted it out, but Dolly ripped your heart out with this song.
And that's why this version is so much better than Whitney's. You can't replace emotion with volume.
Dolly wrote I will always love you and Jolene on the same night. Now that was a good night for Dolly!
You know Dolly grew up very poor in the mountains of Tennessee and she has a book program that gives free books to every child in the state. She’s not only a great singer and writer but she’s also a damn fine human being.
Dolly has such a beautiful crystal clear voice. I don't know if anybody has said this in the comments. But Elvis wanted to record this song, but Dolly refused, but she gave it to Whitney. Dolly was at Glastonbury a few years ago and the security were even dancing to Jolene. She doesn't take herself too seriously, she once said "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap." And when asked who did her hair she said "I don't know, I'm never with it." referring to her wigs. Classy, down to earth lady.
Dolly didn't let Elvis sing this bc the Colonel, his manager, demanded at least half of the rights to any song he recorded. Batman stopped him from doing so many wonderful things.I wish he had gone ahead and record it anyway and a duet with Dolly on it would have been out of this world!
Dolly didn't give this song to Whitney. She still owns it and she commented in an interview that "Whitney made me a lot of money with her version."
The original and by far the best!
Dolly wrote this in 1974... 18 years later, Whitney recorded her version for the soundtrack to her film The Bodyguard, which was released in 1992.
Dolly said she didn't mind Whitney Houston singing this one, as long as the royalties kept coming in lol
She did write it after all... Dolly is also a great guitarist.
People don't know that Dolly wrote l will always love you. Thanks for reading her biography. You guys are great! She isn't just a great entertainer; she is a great humanitarian. She helped fund the Moderna Vaccine for Covid that has saved hundreds of thousands of lives.
The version I grew up with. Its much better, to me than any remake. She's worth 500 Million, LOL.....Written 3000 songs and her song "Coat of Many Colors" still makes me cry at 55. All the kids made fun of the coat her mama made.
She also has a theme park where she was born called Dollywood where she employees many of her family and relatives to work there. She also pays for anyone of her relatives to go to college as a gift when they graduate high school. Dolly is one of those amazing people that seem to only come around a few times every 100 years! So talented in so many ways and personality and down to earth. Still married to the same guy since the beginning. Fame and success didn’t change her at all! I am fascinated by her because no one in my generation or current generation comes close to her as a human being.
She wrote that song for that man at the end of the video. His name is Porter Wagoner.. he signed Dolly to his show, after five years, she wanted to go on her own, but he tried to keep her in his show, so she wrote this song to show him why she had to leave..
He trashed her after this and sued her ( and won) for rights to the songs they created. When Porter fell on Hard times she bought the songs out of bankruptcy and GIFTED them to him to get on his feet. When Porter died ( long illness) Dolly paid his treatment bills and visited him. She sang this song to him as he passed. THAT is who DOLLY is.
She wrote that song for Porter Wagner when she left the Porter Wagner show, Porter was upset that she was leaving.
Dolly wrote this as a way to tell Porter Wagoner that she wished to leave his TV Show... Porter was the one who discovered Dolly and he was so in love with her but she didn't feel the same way and wanted to try at her own solo career..... when she sung this for the first time here on his show it was the first time Porter had heard it..... she left after this performance and went onto great worldwide success.... Porter never stopped loving her until the day he died... Love requited is the hardest love to get over...... when you're the one doing the loving....
Here's a fact I didn't see you read. Dolly actually has a huge amusement park named Dollywood, complete with roller coasters and water slides. She's a legend and an icon.
Dolly wrote this song!
Dolly wasn’t just the first to sing this song. She wrote it.
She looks and sings like an angel. And she has the heart of one.
Whitney- powerful, impressive, moving vocals on this song
Dolly- soft, intimate, touching, personal on this song.
Love both versions, just depends on my mood.
BTW, if you want another great song by her, try "Here you come again"
Dolly actually wrote I will always love you. in 1973.
This performance is before she went on her own, she was on the Porter Wagner Show. She wrote it to him to tell him it was time to let her out of her contract so she can go out on her own. She was grateful that he featured her as his singing partner.
Where Dolly grew up in Tennessee there were few jobs and most people lived strictly off the land and the sweat of their brow. After much thought, Dolly decided the best way to improve the daily lives of her impoverished friends and family was to bring in an industry suited to the strengths of the people. She developed Dollywood, a tourist destination where visitors can enjoy watching locals crafting soaps, candles, glassware, fabrics, butters, etc along with a variety of other shows and eateries. Shake my head every time some celebrity says they support the needy. If they really did, here is the perfect template to bring jobs to an impoverished community.
Dolly Parton wrote the song and when Whitney Houston covered the song Dolly Parton said she heard it on the radio whilst driving her car and she was that amazed by it she had to pull over and listen to it.
I'll give props to Whitney BUT this has always been my favorite. Simple love song no fuss needed.
Whitney sang it in The Bodyguard, but Dolly wrote the song and sang it first. There is a story about why she wrote it. You should look it up. By the way are you familiar with her song 9 to 5? That is a fun one. She wrote that, and it was part of the movie 9 to 5 which she also starred in.
dolly recorded and released it three times before the Whitney Houston version was recorded and it was a hit each time. it's a timeless song.
Dolly wrote it for Porter Wager when she was leaving his show. Later he became bitter that she left because his ratings tanked. It was pretty nasty between them. But when he was down on his luck and had to sell his music catalog, she bought it. When he got back on his feet, she gave it back to him as a gift. Before he died, she would go to his hospital room and sing for him. This song hit number one in three consecutive decades, when she first recorded it in the 70s, then when it was the soundtrack of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas in the 80s, and then when Whitney Houston took it to number one in the 90s. Check out the Forever Country video where it is included as one of the top three iconic country songs. @
She wrote it for Porter Wagner, it was her way of telling him she wanted to leave his show to pursue her own solo career. She also refused to sell the rights to Elvis!
People always attack me, but I prefer Dollys version. The original version.
You guys should check out a hilarious movie. Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Dolly Parton stars with Burt Reynolds. This song is featured in it. Seriously I think you guys would love it. One of my favorite movies of all time.
Thank will check it out
Loved your reaction..plz react to Dolly's " Coat of Many Colors " ..she's an amazing writer and singer and this song she wrote gives you a glimpse I to how she grew up
Thank you
That woman is a national treasure. She has provided books for every school age kid in her hometown once a month for the last 25 years. She made a PRIDE day for Dollywood in 2009. The Smoky mountain fire of 2016, she gave each family that had lost their home $1000 a month to help them get back on their feet. She always comes through for this area. I love her! ( she wrote that song for Porter Wagoner in 1974 when she was leaving his show.)
This is Dolly's song. Whitney did an incredible remake, but Dolly's is sung with such calm. love it.
Dolly is going down as 1 of the Greatest Classic acts of All Time!!!

about her awards and honors.
Dolly wrote and sang it, Whitney made it a power ballad; I love this version from a pure heart perspective.
She also owns DollyWood her own massive theme park. :) 🦋
you guys should really do a reaction, to her Coat Of Many Colors.the story behind that song will bring tears to your eyes
This is Dolly's song, she wrote it and let Whitney make it a hit.
Whitney ruined it, just the same way that she ruined the Greatest Love of All.
@@annamae859 What are you writing? Whitney just sang the song in her own way, adding only power. Both versions of this song are beautiful and emotional. Whitney also sang this second song beautifully. These were her versions of the songs.
@@tunguska8170 the very sad irony of Whitney Houston singing the Greatest Love of All is, she actually never did learn to love herself. That is a great tragedy.
But I stand by my original comment.
Anna Mae No, both versions are so different. There’s room for both.
Make it it hit "again". Dolly took it to number one twice!
This is Dolly's song. Whitney covered it for the movie The Bodyguard. This is the only song in music history to go to the top of the charts TWICE by each of them. Once for each when they recorded it. For Dolly , it was used for a movie she was in and that went to the chart again but Whitney it was for her cover then again it went to the charts when she died
that was his show, Porter Waggoner, it was syndicated like HeeHaw. She had been regular on that show and told Waggoner that she was leaving and he tried talking her out of it. She wrote that song to explain to him how she felt. He said she could leave, but I get to produce the song... going through internet. Arsenio Hall is interviewing Dolly not long before "Bodyguard" was released. Dolly said something like she heard it might be in movie and was interested what Whitney would do with it
Dolly is a country music icon. She has done so much throughout the years. She is also the Godmother to Miley Cyrus.
Dolly Parton wrote (I will always love you) in 1973 long before Whitney Houston did a cover over Dolly’s song (I Will Always Love You)
Dolly won a best song Grammy award when Whitney performed it in the movie. She thanked Whitney for making her rich. She made several more million when the Song hit a new resurgence on Whitney's death.
@@ninline2000 This is true and Whitney begrudged every dollar in royalty Dolly received.
I loved this. I’m from Texas, and my grandma’s family came from Tennessee. Dolly is as perfect as is possible for a human to be.
Most beautiful and talented female singer EVER! She has written 1000s of songs.
Dolly wrote this!
Hi Boys...Whitney did a great job ... but I prefer the original version of Dolly Parton a thousand times.
Dolly wrote it. It's about her splitting up with Porter (her mentor that gave her her start on TV). It's literally a true goodbye love song. It was her biggest Country hit ever. Then Whitney did it and it was the biggest song evah. As a writer of the song Dolly has made millions upon millions off sales of Whitneys' version.
Wait. Somrone say Don Henley sang it in a duet. So whose the originator? 😁
Dolly sings it so effortlessly. But also hits strong notes clearly. Great 👍
Who doesn't fall a little in love with Dolly?
She wrote this song. She is the original singer.
Yes as many are saying Dolly did write this song! But she wrote it for the great country singer Porter Wagner! Porter had a television show and Dolly was under his wing and on the show every week! She decided it was time for her to move on and sang this song on her last appearance on his show for him!
DOLLY PARTON WROTE THIS THEN WHITNEY HUSTON
SANG IT AFTER
Dolly was on Oprah not long after Whitney recorder this song. I remember she said when she sang this song she put $ in the bank, when Whitney sang it...she bought the bank.🤣
She also said, when asked what she thought of people who think Whitney is the original singer of this song... "Honey, people can think whatever they want, as long as the check clears".
My favourite story about Dolly Parton is that her mentor Porter Wagoner resented her leaving to go out on her own. He came on hard times and lost everything, but Dolly bought all the rights to his songs and gave them back to him as a gift with no strings attached. This healed the rift and they were friends again until he died. They call her 'The Iron Butterfly' because she won't ever sell any of her songs. Anyone who sings them has to pay the copyright fee. That's why Elvis never recorded 'I Will Always Love You', as his manager Col. Parker wouldn't let Elvis sing a song he didn't own.
Guys, look at the year. It says 1974. Whitney sang it in the early 90's for the Bodyguard soundtrack. That should be a give away right there on who sang it first
Dolly is beautiful inside and out ,kind ,generous ,talented for sure and smart as a whip !!!
I love Dolly. I prefer this version to Whitney's. Whitney sang it with power but no real emotion. Dolly sings it with tons of emotion..Both singers are amazing
💯 truth bomb
There's a live version of coat of many colors where she's playing an autoharp with those long arse fake nails, too ;)
Dolly has been blessed in so many ways, but more importantly, she has been a blessing.
boys this woman wrote that song and recorded long before whitney, although whitney did make it very famous
Dolly wrote this song for mentor Porter Wagoner's TV show & then got her own variety show. She ended every show singing this song. Nothing like the original!!!!
It is her song and a fun little story about this one, Elvis wanted to do a cover of this song but he wanted full rights to his version of the song. Dolly refused wanting to keep her royalties to one of her greatest songs. Whitney Houston was willing to cover the song and let Dolly keep her royalties and Dolly was so pleased with Whitney's version.
Actually, it was elvis's manager who fucked the deal by wanting full rights.
Too bad, because elvis would've brought his tender falsetto to this song. It would've been a beautiful interpretation for sure.
Dolly Parton is the best celebrity ever. She was a modest sex symbol. She could have been a super model. The best female singer in history. And a lot of people don’t know, she was hilarious. Check out some interviews
Dolly Parton wrote it
Thanks for reviewing Dolly, she’s an angel
Plus we can't forget that Dolly has her own theme park in Tennessee-- Dollywood. Dolly is a legend and a beautiful person.
Just so you know Dolly wrote this song and it was originally released in 1974 and went to #1 on the Billboard Hot Country Charts, then Dolly re-released it as a track for the soundtrack "Best Little Whorehouse In Texas" a movie she did with Burt Reynolds then it went to #1 for the second time in a row in 1982.
That feat of having a song reach #1 twice in different years has only been done once before and that was with
Chubby Checker song "The Twist" which went to #1 in 1960 and again in 1962.
Then Whitney covered Dolly's song in 1992 and it went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Dolly wrote this song for Porter Wagner. She was leaving his popular show & he knew it wouldn't do as well without her & she is so heartfelt to have written this song for him,
Dolly's song she wrote, beautiful, sincere, heartfelt.
Not only does she sing it, she wrote it.
Dolly Parton sings this song, Whitney Houston yells it. Big difference.
That man was Porter Wagner
BrosReact 0151 + Dolly recently did a collaboration with Contemporary Christian Artists "For King & Country" (they're British Brothers I think) titled, "God Only Knows". It's phenomenal. Also "He's Alive" Live is out of this world. And one of her much earlier numbers is "Me & Little Andy" which REEEALLY showcases her unique talent & voice, & song writing ability. Along with what I already mentioned, it's one of my all time favorites.
Dolly grew up in a one-room cabin in Locust Ridge, Tennessee, as one of twelve siblings. Her father never learned to read and she had very few books in the home and read mostly at school.
Dolly wrote this song! It's amazing!
She wrote it for Porter Wagner. He was upset that she was leaving his tv show. That's Porter at the end. She wanted him to kniw how much she appreciated all he'd done for her, but it was time for to move on.
Well said!
I had to share this. Brings back memos. Until Whitney I never thought this song could be given any more justice than it originally had. Thanks guys.😍😘🎈
Your welcome
Dolly wrote the song as a farewell to porter Wagner after she left his tv show
Hi guys ... see that's what I was waiting for ... when you realised what song it was 👍🏻
Great reaction. The wonder and awe you both showed for Dolly was very enjoyable. Thank you for that.
I wish that I had all of Dolly's royalties from just that one song. I'd be richer than Midas.
she wrote this. It's her original song.
She has a great voice
Whitney sang it well but this was Dollys song she wrote it , glad you had this one on.
I first heard this song when Dolly sang it in 'Best Little Whorehouse in Texas' to Burt Reynolds's character. Whitney worked hard and hit the notes, but for Dolly it is so effortless and just floats out of her mouth perfectly.
Yes lads, Dolly wrote this song
her songs were covered by Emmylou Harris, Kenny Rogers, and many others including Whitney Houston (this song) and Sinead O'Connor (Dagger Throught The Heart)- she donated the $ from Whitney's cover to charities that help black neighbourhoods
It's always interesting watching people realize Witney Houston's version was a cover.
Dolly wrote it and Whitney covered it.
...and her original version blows whitney's version out of the water. so much more feeling...
I love watching peoples reaction when they find out that Dolly Parton
wrote and sang, 'I will always love you,' in 1974. Whitney Huston was 11 when this song came out. Whitney just did a
cover of the song in the 90's for the movie Body Guard.
WILD FACT: She wrote this and 'Jolene' the same day!
That's not wild i wrote 5 songs today.
It is wild because they're both #1 songs and they're both still covered thousands of times, probably millions of times.
Whitney Houston was 11 years old when Dolly wrote and sang this. Dolly was "discovered" by Porter Wagoner and he had her regularly on his weekly tv show. She sang on the Porter Wagoner show for years, but then decided it was time to head off on her own. She wrote this song about her feelings about leaving the show and leaving Porter Wagoner, her mentor. He was standing about 10 feet away while she sang this song to him, which he had never heard before. This was the original, sang live on the tv show live, hence the not so good video quality. This was a moment in music history that has never been fully appreciated by later generations.
This is the original. Whitney Houston covered it for the film The Bodyguard.
Dolly wrote this song! It's her song. I prefer her version to Whitney Houston's
You might want to read that Wikipedia again. (11:22) There's a very big difference between "The Best Little Warehouse in Texas" and "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas"! LOL
