Dolly Parton on R&B: A Songwriter’s Legacy
Rest in peace to Dolly Parton, who passed away peacefully today in Nashville at 80. She wrote "I Will Always Love You" in 1973 as a goodbye to her mentor Porter Wagoner. Elvis wanted to record it, but his manager demanded half the publishing, and Dolly turned him down. Twenty years later, Whitney Houston turned it into the biggest-selling single by a woman in history, and every dollar stayed Dolly's. Her family asks that donations be made to her Imagination Library in place of flowers.
