      Myself too. However it just goes to show the best example of humility I have come across in an artist. Dolly didn’t feel the requirement to publicly claim her work. She had no requirement to do so. The sign of an incredibly generous artist of immeasurable talent. Happy 50th birthday to “I will always love you!” Dolly Parton.

    With Whitney's version I think, "wow, listen to those vocals!"
    With Dolly's version, I want to weep.
    When I was younger, I first heard, and only listened to Whitney's version. As an adult, I see Dolly's as the ultimate version because the story is front and centre, yet I would have never given it a chance without having heard Whitney's first. So there is a place for appreciating both these talented women.

    When I was 10 years old I lost my grandmother who was like a mother AND a father to me. She was my whole world. After her death I would lay on a mattress at night staring up at a single bulb in a tiny trailer with my cassette tape and headphones. Alone, heart broken and grieving I would listen to this song, rewind, and listen again. It was a deep sorrowful pain I wish upon no one. She gave me this tape before she died. She was the love of my life and this song was her good bye. To this day I can’t listen to it without feeling her and tearing up. 27 years later I still miss her deeply. She was an amazing lady.

      Unlike Whitney, Dolly keeps the song warm and personal even in the high notes. Her voice is almost pleading where Whitney is screaming. Kind of a soft consensual breakup vs. toss all your belongings out the door situation.

    In Dolly's words about this song:
    "The song came straight from the bottom of my heart. All of those feelings, all of those thoughts, all of those things we had been through, all the things we had been to each other, all of the things we had done to each other, all of that was in one song. I was so emotional I was crying when I was writing it.
    I went into his office and said, "Porter (Wagoner), sit down. I want to sing you a song I wrote." When I started to sing the song, he started to cry. He knew that I had been crying when I wrote it. He got it. He said, "That's the best song you ever wrote. And you can go, if I can produce that song." I said, "It's a deal!"
    Now the song is going to live forever. I thank Porter for that song. I think of him every time I sing it. If it hadn't been for him, I'd never have written that song."

A true artist and musician to be remembered for centuries.

Also check out some of the Johnny Paycheck's tunes like "It wont be long I'll be hating you" or I got someone to kill" the dude told it like it is in his singing song writing.😝 I said it before and I will say it again that the 1950s-1970s produced the greatest collection of songs in world history from all genres. As a tyke in the late 50s and kid in the 60s and teen in the 70s I consider myself lucky to be a part of witnessing this great music all unfold.

    I've alway looked at this version as a completely different song to Whitneys version. Dolly had such a sense of closure in her voice and delivery. Whitney had the stand out vocals that would make this song a radio hit. Dolly saw the end of a failed relationship and realized that NO MATTER what happened, she would always love Porter. Loving someone and being with them are two different things. Dolly's delivery of this song made me realize that you can love someone from a far and still be happy loving someone else. It's hard to know where you're going if you don't know where you've been.

      She had 100,000,000 worldwide records sales right when she was born? Impressive indeed.

    This is Dolly Parton's song and definitely she is the one that performes it the best.
    I loved this song ever since the first time she sung it.
