Dolly Parton Breaks Down Mid-Song While Saying Goodbye to Her Husband in Tearful Tribute
Gaining over three million views, fans gushed over the duet, writing, “If ever two voices were perfect together it’s these two.” Continuing the praise, another fan added “Love them both. So much talent between the two of them in songwriting, vocally, and guitar playing. They are national treasures!” One person noted, “Vince Gill is an amazing Country Singer and Guitar player ever. There never be another Vince Gill !!!! Dolly is a Great Female Country Singer!!!!”Having watched artists honor her legacy over the years, Parton recalled the one person she turned down when they wanted to record “I Will Always Love You.” Speaking with W magazine, the country star explained how Elvis Presley wanted to record the hit. But there was only one problem – Elvis wanted half of the publishing rights.
Knowing her worth, Parton revealed, “I said, ‘I’m sorry, but I can’t give you the publishing. ’I wanted to hear Elvis sing it, and it broke my heart – I cried all night.” While saddened by turning him away, Parton explained, “You have to take care of your business! Everybody’s going to use you if they can. These are my songs – they’re like my children. And I expect them to support me when I’m old!”
