The Whitney Houston cover is so epic and impressive, but when Dolly sings this, its just so beautiful and moving. Always my favorite!

[elsa]

For those now hearing Dolly sing it for the first time, please be aware that this is only part of the full song that she originally recorded back in 1974. For the sake of this scene, it was cut short but it's really worth listening to the full original recording.

Anyone hear this play at weddings and be like 'Ya'll know this is about a break-up, right???'

[maryhlad]

Ed Earl didn’t give a damn what people said about her. He truly loved Miss Mona, and that love was genuine.

[Veeicool]

I listen Whitney's version to marvel at her vocal strength and listen Dolly's to connect with my own emotions.

[BriGuyIL]

Dolly gives such sincerity to this performance

[TravelAlongAdventures]

Dolly is a national treasure!! We are blessed to be able to see her performances, there will never be another like her!

[ochsj]

It makes me feel old when most o the people commenting on here are just learning that Dolly Parton wrote this. I remember hearing her version on the radio as a kid (my parents listened to Country Music) and I was 21 when Whitney Houston's version came out.

[roxannpoor]

It's a shame Dolly and Whitney never did a duet

[leenut]

I love Whitney’s version but Dollys will always be my favorite because she wrote it and you can hear the love and heartbreak behind it in every note she sings.

[wandawoman]

Fun fact: Dolly also wrote the other duet between herself and Burt in the movie - 'Sneakin' Around'.

[vgardner]

Can't believe my mom let me go see this by myself at 14 while she went to go see another movie. the 80's.

[Pinkles]

Whitney’s cover is impressive. However, when Dolly sings it, it’s so emotional and sweet.

[aliciamata]

Damm Whitney Houston’s version was beautiful and defied what most people can do but something about Dolly’s rendition of the song just does something to the heart strings

[meboneme]

Let's NOT FORGET that DOLLY had her song #1 TWICE before Whitney recorded it. I LOVE both of their versions, but Whitney's is a THEATRICAL SHOWPIECE, while DOLLY'S IS A TRUE LOVE SONG! DOLLY for the rest of time!!

[bellat]

I love Whitneys version so powerful. Dolly sings it in a way that pulls at your heartstrings, because she sings it because she ment it when she wrote it, at the time she was working with Porter Wagoner and she wanted to go solo, but Porter wouldnt listen so she wrote this song. I will never be able to choose.

To those who linger onto any love, always remember it's always a gain in life, never a loss, to love someone. Those moments when you spend your time with someone are golden minutes, rays of sunshine, that make you forget you're alone.

[thathawaiiandude]

She is just so amazing. That quivering sweet voice gets my heart strings EVERY TIME!!🥰❤️

[Riogi]

Dolly is in a class all her own -- so beautiful and talented!

[naomistephenson]

Whitney was a powerhouse, but that’s not necessarily what was needed for this song. Dolly is a legend and will always be!
