Dolly Parton - I Will Always Love You

Dolly Parton - I Will Always Love You

[@EdwinErickson]

Dolly is a genuine treasure with such a powerful, soulful, beautiful voice.

[@BLUEOHIO]

Dolly wrote this beautiful song and sings it like a angel!! Whitney did a remake and today Whitney lost her singing voice but Dolly at 65 still has her beautiful voice and still sounds like a angel!..This song will always be the legend Dollys song!!

[@24356778s]

My U.S friends, you would be amazed at the reception she got on her last U.K tour,sold out months in advance,possibly the best show I've ever been to, a genuinely gifted woman, your country should be proud of her.

[@mrbillykid2]

Dolly is the best female volcalist to ever grace a mic in the history of music......

[@ultrabrougham]

More emotion in Dolly's version then any other. She's a keeper.

[@leonjmaisonneuve]

She had the brains and wisdom to never give up (sell) her copyrights to this great song. Bravo Dolly & you all showed them that you are not a dumb blonde!

[@BLUEOHIO]

Heres the LEGEND that other singers wish they was her!!!

[@Mariooperator]

am feeling this song. so soft, pure and sweet.

[@darlinkula1]

Thank You For Bringing So Much Pleasure To My Life Dolly Parton !

[@ladyagrimony]

I loved seeing Dolly sing this to Porter Waggoner, (the inspiration for the song, she broke up with him as a singing partner) on the GOP stage during the tribute to Porter before he died.

[@kewlness40]

One of my most favorite Dolly songs of all time!

[@MyBlink2010]

i like the version of ms. dolly .....very classy and elegant sooooooo cooo luv it!!!!!!!!!!

[@jidawil]

Whitney herself gave homage to Dolly and said that she took an iconic song and gave her own interpretation to it. What a beautiful song that came from from her decision to venture out on her own, it is amazing how healing money can be. Love you Dolly !!!!!! I will Always Love You !

[@mazhay09]

this song was played at my granddads funeral and brings me to tears every time i hear it well done dolly xx

[@imabeastcameron]

dolly parton i think that you are the most beautiful person and singer and i am your biggest fan i really wish i could meet you one day

[@siriusminx]

Years ago Dolly had a 15 min show, after the nightly news in the mid-west. This was used as her theme song for the show. You knew immediatley she and the song were something special. I'ts not neccessary to compare Whitney and Dolly on this song. They sang in different musical era's so they are gonna be arranged accordingly, back-up s are different etc. Both beautiful and perfect in their own way. RIP beautiful girl.

[@gloriagibson-colon8933]

Dolly and I grew up together and "Coat of many colors" is my favorite but this is a close first. She was a great singer, actress, Hey anyone get to Dollywood in Pigeon Forge TN? Worth going to.

[@7trainQbnyc]

both are just as romantic in their fashions.....

[@athanguy]

At the peak of Bodyguard's popularity, Whitney's version was the worldwide anthem and is an undeniable success. As a Filipino and not really aware of Dolly's songs, I was suprised to hear this version in a Bette Midler movie. Went out to find it and there it was. While Whitney's rendition is great and iconic, Dolly's was haunting and touching.

[@benjikidd9739]

I already wished Happy BIrthday!!! You show the power of Capricorn!! and the classiness ;)

[@yu3p2x1]

This is not about comparing versions or somebody's being a hundred times better. This is about appreciating a wonderful song written by Dolly Parton. She has never criticised anybody's cover of her song and countless people have done it. She has at least another 4000 penned songs to her name and there must be a few hundred greats among those. She has always thanked Whitney Houston for her version, never fails to mention it. After, it's just subjective. Dolly's own version or Whitney's are tops.

[@SallyCoyleDorsey]

Love her or hate her (and I just love her - she is a real human being and honest about the work she has done - unlike some), ya gotta respect the talent in voice and writing! She is as American an institution as Marilyn Monroe and Betsy Ross!

[@TheLathanual]

@mrbillykid2 You are so right. The best the world has ever known and ever will know. There will NEVER be another singer like Dolly Parton.

[@GABIEPATTIE1]

dolly wrote this song to say good bye to her friend Porter Wagner. They sang togather for years, and this is her goodbye,,,,I think it is just beautiful....and so is she

[@70sRob]

Dolly ... You are so amazing ...Just luv you..

[@josedelrio1029]

ESTA CANCION ES UNA DE LAS MAS BELLAS MELODIAS DE AMOR QUE HE ESCUCHADO. ES MARAVILLOSO ESCUCHARLA EN ESTA FANTASTICA VOZ..

[@orionlottering7349]

one of the greatest artist that ever lived.

[@HollyFromAcrossThePond]

There is so much emotion portrayed through the soft tones of Dolly Partons voice in this song 3 :-)

[@fransiskusmeldison4087]

Oh Tuhan... Lagu ini dinyanyikan Dolly Parton sangat menusuk hati... Lagu ini dinyanyikan dengan sederhana dan sangat bagus sekali

[@liza8423]

Dolly and the late Whitney have their own style of singing this song....Whitney sings with full expression which i think is fantastic....Dolly is good for countrymusic type of singing!

[@LiveLaughLearn]

Its so sad and it is so true. I will always love you no matter what you do to me or say about me. I know you don't mean it. I am sick of everyone telling me stuff about you and sick of everyone just having an opinion. We could have avoided all this if we could have talked. I think Dolly sings this song so beautifully. I hope you will listen to it...

[@chotzrary]

Dolly owns it!!!

[@2000msdreamcatchable]

This is the very 1st song i dedicated to my boyfriend at the time,now my husband of 27 years!!!

[@Tribader1]

She be loved!!!!!!

[@sherkilynn]

Beautiful!!!!!

[@DOLLYWAYNE38]

No she wrote it in the 1970's after she was ready to leave Porter Wagoner show and did it two times in 1974 and 1982 on both occasion it became number one hit for her. She later had a number 15 hit as a duet with Vince Gill in 1995 of which they won the CMA vocal Event of the Year the following year.

[@stereokid]

This song has been good to Dolly. Wish more people knew she wrote it. But every time a singer makes it big with this song, she getting some money. Now Lin Yu Chun the Taiwanese singer has brought the song to everyone's attention on KZbin.

[@ShowPony1]

This is my favourite overall 'live' performance of watching Dolly sing this song. She is just the Greatest singer/songwriter/performer ever! Thanks for sharing.

[@SirBorisJoseph]

She is still the best!

[@traylorvh]

I absolutely love this song sung by Dolly. I even remember the first time I heard it and where I was at the time, in Ridgemar Mall in Fort Worth. I just stopped and listened as did a lot of other people. Thank you for the post and the memories.

[@Briana_Ley]

she is the best!

[@LayLo995]

ADOREI o batom delaa !

[@DottieNorth]

I always liked Dolly's singing.

[@GabrielArcanjo17]

Apesar do sucesso com a Whitney, a Dolly Parton verdadeira cantora da musica arrasa, ela é demais, é adoro a Dolly Parton. e Whitney otima tb que vc esteja em um otimo lugar.

[@gregreis]

Dolly's version makes me cry! Only she can sing this song with such emotion! Whitney is fabulous, a great artist, however, Dolly is a queen.

[@Maru39]

Please, they both rock!! Dolly is great and Whitney was absolutely amazing

[@mrbillykid2]

@TheLathanual ...Thanks, I'm a musican, and have been in the buissness for over 35 years, and when it comes to talent, there is no other like Dolly......tw

[@powwowdoc]

This version gives me chills! Wow!

[@amberbutterfield8099]

I adore her.

[@dougc426]

Pure country!!

[@EdMaas2]

It was great to see this again. It would have bee nicer to see it in its entirety as this video is extremely difficult to find.

[@Damnblastify]

@jkcsdaddy - Nope was written by Dolly in 1973. She has told numerous interviewers over the years that she wrote it for her one-time partner and mentor Porter Wagoner, with whom she was having a business splitting at the time

[@sdsar68w]

@cedrickster40, UM, Whitney actually was granted permission from Dolly to sing and use this song. Dolly recorded the song for the musical movie "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas." Mona (Dolly) sings it to Sheriff Earl (Burt Reynolds) after he tells her that he loves her. Both do a good job at singing the song in thier own way. I'm a HUGE country fan, and I like the way Whitney sings it also. And enjoy both singers performing this song.

[@marki131]

beautiful voice beautiful girls wow

[@ClubPenguinVideo2009]

[@meloso0703]

Ella escribió la canción así que puede hacer lo que quiera con ella y su voz es BASTANTE privilegiada que no lo puedas apreciar es otra cosa.

[@3notrub]

[@MrCountryboy2554]

[@TempusFugit91]

Most beautiful woman ever!!!

[@guiguimyself]

what an amazing woman. WE will always love you dolly

[@birddogtx]

I admit that while Whitney brought a wonderfully new and soulful aspect to this song, nothing compares to the raw emotion Lady Dolly puts into the original version.

[@TempusFugit91]

She´s one of the most beautiful women I´ve ever seen and definitely the most talented one. She´s amazing!! Her beauty, her voice, her talent and not to mention that stunning body of hers. God, I love this woman. I would marry her right away.

[@eva93ie]

it finished at the BEST part ! -.-

[@steverush4402]

Dolly not only sang it first, she wrote it.

[@cndbishop]

@85hisboobear Well, actually, Dolly put it on the Billboard Charts twice. Once around 1971 and again in the '80s. Both times it went to #1. This will always be Dolly's song.

[@allycat360]

Dolly can sing...Dolly can write music...Dolly has an amazing business head on her shoulders....not bad for a poor country gal...that had second hand clothes and comes from Tennessee... She has Dollywood and brought jobs to her own town....Dolly Parton is an amazing woman....the TRUE lady of Country....Amen to you Dolly your a true inspiration...

[@vpettibone57]

for those of you that dont like dolly's version, you do realize she wrote this song. !!! and she has always thanked whitney for making her alot of money, and getting her the grammy for this song, and the oscar for it. !!!!! so i dont think dolly much cares what ya'll think. hahaha

[@supremes1964]

HANDS DOWN.......DOLLY'S WAS #1 (TWICE) 1974 & 1982......WHITNEY 1992 version made Dolly a millionaire for LIFE! DOLLY RULES!

[@snowie113]

awesome lady

[@2005SHERWIN]

She sings so effortless. My favourite version :)

[@ljimhidlay8288]

what a song with meaning

[@MsTameka81]

@siriusminx You are so right....both beautiful in their own way!

[@firstinthedance]

"I Will Always Love You" was first written and recorded in 1973 by Dolly Parton and released in 1974 on Parton's album, Jolene. She re-recorded the song in 1982 for the soundtrack of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas."I Will Always Love You" reached number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart both times. Whitney Houston recorded her version of the song for the 1992 film The Bodyguard.

[@TempusFugit91]

@Donnysaxman Wrong. They didn't have an affair. She wrote this song because she wanted to get out of his show to be on her own in the showbiz but he wouldn't listen to her. That's when she wrote this song. It was a goodbye to him not an actual lovesong.

[@brendasmith8965]

I love listening to dolly parton.she has meaning to her songs.

[@jonnjonn]

Really doesn't matter who sang it better.. [Although it's Dolly], she still wrote it.

[@xXazuraXx]

AWESOME!!! such a beautiful song.

[@EditorThunderBay]

Truly beautiful ! "A Beautiful Difference" © award from Squitti's.

[@fognog3]

Dolly Parton is worth more money than whitney houston ever thought about :P

[@sulferwings24]

awesome!

[@toddcanton9537]

why should one person's rendition of this song ever be compared to another's? Both are truly a fabric in a truly beautiful quilt of honestly rendered music!

[@goodholy1]

einfach nur wunder schon

[@1NinaFilms]

@athanguy I couldn't agree more. What a sweet version this is.

[@SuperCrazyforvideos]

I will always love this song

[@tfutrell000]

I don't know why there is all this talk of Dolly vs. Whitney. It has been documented countless time that Dolly and Whitney had a tremendous respect for each other. When the song exploded with the The Bodyguard, Dolly joked: "Whitney went to the Bank with that song; I bought the bank with that song."

[@HalfPinoy100]

@kenpachi480 it's all about preference! as a huge country music fan myself, i always love Dolly's own interpretation of the song she wrote herself

[@chj04355]

Your awesome!! i will always love you woman!!! :)

[@crikarlshamn]

Well, correct me if I'm wrong all of you who thinkof Whitney. I was of the understanding Dolly wrote this song when her business partner and she parted after many years... But Whitney did take it to another level.

[@masonarea]

Dolly's version #1 we love you dolly

[@terry47family]

Dolly can do it all. Her band rocks so does she. Oh, we know she plays 11 different instruments. It is Dolly's song, not houston

[@lpritch370]

Dolly wrote this song for Porter Wagoner back in the 60's. Don't know why anyone would think this is Whitneys song.

[@scheckdj]

Dolly's song but Whitney took it to a whole new level - can't listen to her version without crying after her untimely death!!!

[@thetruthhurt9120]

FACT!!!

[@jkcsdaddy]

I was trying to figure out what you were wrting to be about. I left my account logged in, on his computer. Thanks for the wikipedia quote
