First time reacting to you guys reacting and really enjoyed you guys...Keep up the good job...Dolly is just what you see is what you get...

[@granjmy]

New sub here. You guys have such a sweet natured vibe! I enjoyed your reactions! May I suggest Bob Seger? So many amazing songs. One of my favorite love songs of Bob's is You'll Accomp'ny Me. For fun, check out That Old Time Rock and Roll. Thank you!

[@terrybeasley5931]

No auto tune. No multiple takes.No electronic manipulation. Just talent.

[@davidd6759]

She owned all the rights to this song and made a ton of money when Whitney covered it. Elvis wanted to record it but he wanted the rights to it and she said no.

[@carolgranados4892]

I luv this song. I think Dolly sings to you while Whitney sang it at you. Both very great versions.

[@lindaroselevin2191]

She is a great singer, songwriter. She is a great person. She helped anyone who asked to help further there careers, is known to be very charitable and is brilliant. She has written 950 songs that have been published. She talked about Whitney and thought she could do the song better than her, and Whitney and her got along beautifully. She was wrong, not better, just different Dolly is an icon. The music industry is lucky to have someone like her.

[@lindaroselevin2191]

If you haven't heard her song: coat of many colors, it is worth your time it is about her childhood and is a great song.

[@lindaroselevin2191]

Have you heard angelina Jordan's music? She is 18 now Blues, jazz, with a twist of modern to it, someone once said. She is amazing and has a charitable nature too.

[@TheDivayenta]

She wrote this to her employer- Porter Waggoner- on whose show she wanted out of to pursue her solo career. Theres another video where she explains it all before she sings the song. 😊 Her “ Coat of Many Colors” is amazing- she came out of poverty in the Appalachians. Her dad was a sharecropper and they lived in a one bedroom shack- a family of 14.

[@goittoog7563]

I recall Porter saying he told her to stop wring songs about "mamas old frying pan" I guess she heeded the bedazzled ones advice😆

[@rcinsley]

This may be the only example of a "business break-up song!" 🙂

[@davidtullis2810]

Porter soon went broke after Dolly left and he had to sell his music portfolio. Dolly bought it and gave it back to him

[@granjmy]

@@davidtullis2810 ❤

[@emmavink]

So true. Whitney turned this song into a power ballad and apparently Dolly always respected her for making it her own in terms of her interpretation. Dolly's version was written to be gentle and intimate. Whitney's version is an epic. Both different but both deeply impactful 💕

[@Amaberean]

Nope. Whitney’s version is an example of cold machine perfection. No warmth, no emotion, machine like note perfection. You can have it. Ai could have done the same thing.

[@olgamountain9904]

@@Amaberean Hi, honey. I couldn’t agree with you more.

[@brandong298]

It reminds me of what Aretha did with Respect. I only recently heard the original. She made it into a new song.

[@rachaelyamasaki3889]

it has been done many times, beautifully...But! Dolly! It is HER SONG!!!

[@jefferydsmith9966]

Elvis wanted to record this song. Dolly was invited to the recording session. The day before Elvis was to record his version, Colonel Tom Parker (Elvis’ manager) called up and wanted all or half the publishing rights. Dolly already had a number one hit with the song, and she simply told him NO. Dolly is an amazing businesswoman. She knew her worth, and she wasn’t afraid to say no, even to the Elvis empire.

[@brandong298]

She is a real talent Elvis was a fraud. Dolly wrote her own material And didn’t need to steal from other artist.

[@MommaBird52]

She has written 1000s of songs. She wrote this and Jolene in the same evening. When asked about Whitney singing this she says she smiles all the way to the bank!

[@MaryLou913]

She said she’s written over 3000 songs!

[@VIDSTORAGE]

Dolly is a colossal songwriter like maybe 3000 songs ,,,even Tina Turner took one of Parton's songs for her first solo album in the 70s and many others .

[@vickihirsch8340]

Dolly is a remarkable song writer and can play multiple instruments. She grew up very poor and is extremely charitable. She has a reading program that anyone can sign up for a their children will get a free age appropriate book every month. I recommend you do more from this legend.

[@MaryLou913]

Yes! She’s universally loved! We’ll always love her!

[@lisalott4236]

One hell of a song written by Ms. Dolly Parton. Love the reaction ya'll. This song plays in the background of The Bodyguard's bar scene where Rachel dances with Frank.

[@MIxxEDREACTIONS0520]

♥️

[@CFWhitman]

The version playing in the background is the John Doe version. I believe it was only on one of his albums, but I'm not sure of when he released it. It was one of the more obscure versions of the song before the movie came out.

[@micheleevans4960]

I love the way Dolly and Whitney sang it. It’s almost a different song to me. But they both had such interpretations of it ❤

[@debramason4055]

She wrote this song to Proter Wagner when she worked on his show,then went on her own. Please listen to more of her music. ❤

[@nancy9891]

She always wore wigs and is almost 80 years old now. Whitney and Dolly are both American treasures. This song is unforgettable!

[@josephmullinax6118]

Dolly also liked prince. So when she released her rock album. She did a cover of purple rein.. it was her tribute to prince one of her musical idols.

[@rcinsley]

Dolly retained the rights to this song. When asked about her decision to allow Whitney to record it, Dolly said "When I sang this song, I took it to the bank. When Whitney sang it, I bought the bank."

[@MIxxEDREACTIONS0520]

🙌🏾♥️

[@MaRoach7]

She wrote this and Jolene in the same night

[@jolenewitzel7919]

React to her song COAT of Many Colors. Dolly is awesome. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@scottfarley3644]

Houston, A performance. Parton, Emotional real life from the Heart. Big difference.

[@carolharrison5780]

Dolly is awesome would love to see more reactions to her songs

[@philipdickey6460]

Dolly Parton is also a very generous person, when people lost their homes due to I think either by weather conditions or by fire, she paid rent for everyone who was in need

[@shannonlaskie6254]

She wrote this song. She’s written for many artists and written for herself

[@snowflakehunter]

She made it famous herself. Look at the facts.

[@anthonygeurtsen7143]

Exactly!!! This song was #1 twice, before Whitney did it.

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

Dolly's version is a personal love letter to her boss, as she parted ways to go solo. Whitney was playing a Diva in the Bodyguard & they are totally different, while both being beautiful. She also sings it in a fun old western movie with Burt Reynolds called 'The Best little Whorehouse in Texas'. Guess who played the madam? Such a fun movie. Dolly is now 77 & she just did the halftime show on Thanksgiving at the Dallas cowboys game... and she was in a cowboys cheerleader uniform, I might add. She just released a new album in November called Rockstar & she does several rock tunes. She has featured stars on different songs too, like Lizzo & Pink, Elton John & Paul McCartney from the Beatle. It's awesome too. Having little education herself, Dolly has donated millions for charity & also has a book program where she has given away millions & millions of books to children. She is a treasure.

[@karenstrong8887]

Dolly is a prolific song writer and wrote many hits songs for others. She has the voice to do this Whitney’s way but she loved Whitney doing it. She wrote a song for Elvis Presley and he loved it but it was never recorded. The Colonel told Dolly she had to pay him half of her song writing rights or he wouldn’t let Elvis sing. He was a pig and a liar. He wasn’t a Colonel, his name wasn’t Tom Parker and he was an illegal immigrant. Dolly is not a pushover and she told him she was sad that Elvis wouldn’t be singing her song. Dolly came up hard with nothing and a lot of siblings in a shack in the mountains. She often didn’t have shoes in Winter. Many of her first hits were based on her early life and they are worth hearing. Like Coat of Many Colours or Apple Jack. Dolly really has a heart of gold. She runs Dolly World so she can send books to children who do not have any all over the world. She knew what it was like to not have a book. A couple of years ago her count was over 3 million books sent to children in need. She couldn’t have children so she helped raise many of her siblings children. Dolly is a giver and if you look you will find so many ways she gives her money away. So it was never the money with the Colonel, it was the principle. Thank you.

[@xScooterAZx]

She wrote this for Poeter Wagoner. She wanted to leave Porter's tv show and go out on her own. He didnt want her to leave,so she wrote h im this song. Not a breakup song but her parting ways with him as her mentor.

[@joankisloski6972]

The difference in the way Dolly sang the song & Whitney was, Dolly was saying goodbye to her singing partner. Whitney was saying goodbye to her lover (in the movie). David Foster and Houston re-arranged the song for The Bodyguard soundtrack.

[@LindaLittle-m7j]

I loved your reactions and comments to Dolly Parton's"I Will Always Love You"❤❤

[@AriMalatesta]

Just imagine someone writing and singing this song for you... Damn!

[@sophieandwayne]

Coat of many colours and Jolene are beautiful songs and TRUE songs.

[@melanieheathbeasley133]

It was so good. Coat of many colors is so telling for her

[@THEPATRIOT1000]

There are videos of Dolly talking about Whitney singing this. Also she rejected Elvis in singing this song. There are videos about that too.

[@boltoniangirl]

I find it kinda sad that Elvis didn't get to record it. Both him and Dolly wanted him to do it, but the Colonel wouldn't let him unless Elvis was given the copyright. I think his version could have been really beautiful. Fun fact: this song was played at the end of the movie Priscilla, not only because it fit with the ending but because Priscilla has said that Elvis sang it to her at the courthouse after their divorce

[@PriscillaV1964]

While my initial reaction to Elvis singing it was "Wow, that would have been awesome!" I just watched a concert of his from about this time and, . . . his lifestyle was already taking a toll on his voice. If he had this song in the 60's it would have been the GOAT, In the 70's, . . . it might have been just a good cover, maybe.

[@Amaberean]

@@boltoniangirl Then Elvis should have had the balls to stand up to Col. Parker. It seems that Elvis forgot who the f-ing BOSS is. What a wimp. Elvis wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer. In fact, he was a pretty stupid man. He should have been a billionaire by the time he died. Instead he allowed Col. Parker to steal millions and millions of dollars from him. He was only worth about 4-5 million when he died. That’s ridiculous.

[@Zebred2001]

Dolly's voice has a light lilting touch while Whitney was a power singer. Both versions are great! I've got one you should do - Love Is Here To Stay by Thomas Dybdahl (Live from NRK Studio 1).

[@mintefresh6608]

The thing is Whitney’s voice had a very delicate side as well. Most of her songs were quite soft with touches of power, yet somehow she always gets labeled a power singer like she’s Big Mama Thornton.

[@bruceford1000]

Dolly Parton starred in the movie 9 to 5 with Jane Fonda and Lilly Tomlin. The movie was produced in 1980. Dolly also wrote and sang the songs "jolene" and Coat of many colors ( which is a song about a coat her mother made for her ) .

[@seanmc1351]

Dolly wrote the song and sings it how she wrote it, heartfelt, whitney also did the song as we all know, but whitney brought it forward to a new generation, and changes in music, she modernised it for a different generation, both very worthy and world class,

[@smithed]

Whitney’s version sang to the world, Dolly sings to you!

[@keithlai5545]

Music legend Dolly Parton wrote and sang this song country music style, but Whitney Houston's singing this song in The Bodyguard took it into another stratosphere. Loving both Dolly and Whitney.

[@MimiDidi121]

Once in an interview, Dolly was asked if she thought Whitney did a better job. She said when it was a big hit for her she ran all the way to the bank. When it was a big hit for Whitney, she bought the bank! Lol.

[@selinakyle-ku2lz]

He knew she tore it up!

[@davidherbert4508]

You need to redo reaction with her other version, it answers your questions and will bring you to tears

[@Peggi109]

Linda Ronstadt did a version of this, as well. It's a beautiful song.

[@boskoglund]

She really means everything she sings,

[@Ruth-b8c]

I'm a fan of true hearts, Dolly, Whitney...............this song written with a true heart suit them both..........Dolly loved Whitney's rendition..

[@MIxxEDREACTIONS0520]

♥️

[@peggy5003]

You should do Dolly and Kenny Roger's duet Islands in the Stream which was written by the Bee Gees. All amazing talents

[@bwilliams463]

Ironically, this video is from 'The Porter Wagoner Show;' as other commenters have pointed out, Dolly wrote this song to Porter, who promoted her in her early career. When Dolly made the decision to strike out on her own, Porter felt betrayed that she would leave him after all he had done for her. So this is her heartfelt goodbye to him.

[@TD402dd]

She sang to a single person (her boss). Whitney sang to her fans in the movie.

[@JimboInTheHouse1]

Dolly released that version in 1974, but she released it again in 1983 as recorded for "The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas." The latter is the best version of all three, including Whitney's, IMO. You should look it up.

[@popland1977]

She actually did much better live versions as she got older. Her got even more powerful

[@timmyfoxworth6710]

She wrote this song for porter Wagner a older man who gave her her first break in ..

[@jeffbrooks8024]

Her two best friends are Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt. She regularly sees Linda, seeing Linda has Parkinson’s and doesn’t get out much. For the very best…check Trio 1 and Trio 2 albums…just brilliant

[@briankrames1883]

MixxED, first time here, nice reaction! Yes, Dolly's version was very sweet; Whitney's was epic! If you want the best version, check out Lucy Thomas' version of this, it'll blow you away!

[@MarkStrickland-bm1gm]

Dolly is singing to a person and Whitney sang to the world!!

[@evabyrum3327]

This song was extremely famous in the country music industry and was one of her number one songs that won many awards. At one time Elvis wanted to cover it but she turned that down cause they wanted more than half the rights to the song but she wouldn't give it to them. It was her money maker way back then and still is.

[@wiggion]

When Kevin Costner suggested the song to David Foster and Whitney, story is that they kind of blew him off. He got them to hear the song and both have said, they knew how it would sound with Whitney singing it. They got permission from Dolly to use the song. Dolly said she almost wrecked the truck she was driving when she first heard the Whitney version on the radio.

[@sandralorenz1796]

Check out Dolly's "Coat of Many Colors", "Rocking Years", "Do I Every Cross Your Mind", "From Here To the Moon and Back". the list is endless. She's written over 3,000 songs.

[@jeanettesmith765]

No showing off. She is just beautifully real.

[@ginacanale8480]

Dolly and queen Latiifah in joyful noise , but Dolly was the only one who can really sing that song beautifully

[@michaelairheart6921]

Actually it didn't get more famous when sung by Whitney Houston. When Dolly first released it, it went to number one. She released it again a few years later and it went to number one again. So her version went to number one twice before Whitney sang it.

[@MaryLou913]

She said she’s written over 3000 songs!

[@beegee1960]

I think Dolly’s best performance of the song was in the movie BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS where she sings it to Burt Reynolds. He is the local Sheriff and she is a Madam. He has just closed down her house. He wants to go into politics and she is telling him that it won’t work between them Her performance brought me to tears. Maybe it was the fact that a the song had a context. The movie is a great musical comedy and well worth the watch. It is funny as hell. It stars, Dolly Parton, Burt Reynolds, Jim Nabors, and a long list of other great actors.y

[@bonkousmcnaughty4604]

Wot a voice!!!

[@stephenhuber1219]

This was a goodbye song to Porter and he took it very hard. Dolly wrote Jolene the same night

[@robinbond7878]

Check out Coat of many colors that Dolly Parton wrote. It’s a beautiful song about her life growing up.

[@josephmullinax6118]

To see her at 77 performing.? Look her up her dallas halftime show for Dallas cowboys.

[@ronaldtucker1262]

I heard that Elvis tried to purchase the rights to this song, and Dolly refused to sell.

[@4swordkeeper]

Liked and subscribed 😁

[@MIxxEDREACTIONS0520]

[@kevinkrichie]

She also sang this song to Burt Reynolds in "Best Little Whorehouse inTexas".

[@williamlidster5850]

I would encourage you to react to her song, “coat of many colors.” it’s a true story of her childhood. I would also recommend Dolly Parton song “Jolene.”

[@jimmyprincivil4269]

Greetings! Hope you two are doing real good. I want to make a recommendation for a song you both should react to. The artist is Ella Washington and the name of the song is He Called Me Baby. I believe you both would enjoy it. And in the event that you take my recommendation, just give your brother a shout out, lol.

[@michaelmosier5627]

I prefer Dolly's version of this song. Maybe because I heard her version first. She sang this song in the movie Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.

Dolly i hope they realize that is your song you got in your head in 1962 and write later in 1967 i was crazy in you so sexy,beautiful and a voice in world-class.I´m the man who loved her.happy when Dolly remember me the crazy man who loved her.🥰😍🤩😘😋😋😋😋💝💖💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💯%LOVE.💖💖💖💖

[@teeken8850]

[@darlenejacobson32]

She wrote the song for Elvis..the kernel changed the deal said she wouldn't get royalties...so she kept it, and Elvis didn't get the song.

[@Lavolanges]

She wrote it for herself. It’s only after it became a hit that she was approached by Elvis. She was ready to let him record it until Parker insisted on getting copyright.

[@wesalker3479]

Yeah, the guy that she wrote it about . . . SUED HER . . .

[@MIxxEDREACTIONS0520]

Wooow Really??😩

[@anthonygeurtsen7143]

Yeah, and he was wrong. She agreed to 5 years on his show. When that was over, he didn't want to let her go, so she wrote this song. Lets fast forward, when Porter was having financial troubles later in his life, Yeah.....Dolly came to his rescue, and gave him even more money. Lets learn our entire history people...and not just put here what you think will get you some likes.

[@gaetagirl]

[@jodarchy]

And just to prove how nice she is even after he sued her when he got really sick and had to sell his song catalogue for money she bought them and gifted them back to him
