You didn't sing it like Dolly. You didn't sing it like Whitney either. You sang it like Dave Fenley. MUCH PROPS. So many people that try to sing such a difficult song try to sing it like Dolly or Whitney. You were just being yourself. Job well done.

Sir, I'm a songwriter and a MAJOR Dolly Parton Fan, and I just stumbled across your rendition/version of the classic "I Will Always Love You". Other than Dolly herself, this is the most AMAZING Vocal Performance I have ever heard of this particular song. You sang this song with such Passion, Conviction, Strength and Tenderness it brought me to tears. I hope that Dolly will somehow get to see and hear you Sing this song, I'm sure she would be SO HONORED and PROUD. You have truly brought his song into the 21st Century. WELL DONE!
