Dolly was once asked how she felt when Whitney Houston gets credit for “I will always love you”. Her response was classic. “It doesn’t bother me, just as long as I get the check” Gotta love Dolly

The people I worked with was totally shocked when I told them that Dolly Parton wrote I Will Always Love You. They didn't believe me. I told them she wrote it for Porter Wagoner when she was leaving his show. They were saying no way and I told them to look it up on the internet. They were totally amazed. They thought that Whitney Houston wrote it. I love Dolly Parton she is the best and I remember watching the Porter Wagoner show when she sang that song. Whitney Houston had an amazing voice but Dolly sang that song better than anyone because that song came from her heart. She is a great singer and a great human being! God bless her!

Dolly has more talent in her tiny little finger than most artists have in their whole bodies. She is a legend!

Dolly Parton is a total genius. She wrote Jolene and I will always love you in one evening.

When most people look at Dolly's big hair, big personality, and wild costumes they tend to forget or not realize what a beautiful songwriter that she is. She is a true poet. My favorite song of hers is "Tennessee Mountain Home". Her lyrics makes you able to visualize what the song is about. I like her song "Joshua", too. "Coat of Many Colors" just touches my heart. Nobody has ever said anything bad about her. Rather rare in the entertainment business where everyone wants to bring you down.

Dolly is a music genius. She is amazing. God gave us a gem!

I love all her songs 'Like a butterfly ' & 'Two doors down', & 'He's Alive' & '9 to 5', 'Jolene' and goodness just so many.

Youngest of four, 1970s my Mother giggled as I bossed her around (age 4) to put the radio in the window, on the right station and then let me just swing & sing in our backyard for hours until lunch. 😊

"My Coat of Many Colors" by Dolly is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. We love you, Dolly!

My favorite Dolly Parton song is "Hard Candy Christmas". The song had special meaning for me because it's about loss. I know it's about the women at the chicken ranch singing about what they'll do with their lives once the ranch was closed but it's also about the end of an era. I remember hearing it played on the radio the Christmas after my mother died. I didn't know what to do with myself--I just wanted to run away and hide somewhere because nothing was ever going to be the same. It truly was like the door had closed on my past.

Dolly is a legendary storyteller in her songs.

Dolly Parton is a timeless songwriting machine.

[codenameu.arctos]

Dolly is one of those rare celebrities that are extremely talented, genuinely a lovely person, and no one who has interacted with her seems to have an unkind thing to say about her.

Plus her singing just seems effortless

[samayahabdi]

Dolly Parton must have broken the world record for writing the most songs! An amazing human, who has written a treasure for the world for many many years to come! We adore you dear Dolly!

She’s an exceptional human being and a legend in music

[cmnelson]

One thing not advertised was that, after the heartbreaking & devastating fires the wiped out many TN homes a few yrs ago, not only did Dolly rebuild Dollywood and the surrounding resort areas to keep the economy for her people, she also gave EACH FAMILY a large amt to rebuild their homes. All without fanfare and with great Love.

[julieblack]

For me, I can't pick just one. "I Will Always Love You", "Here You Come Again", and "Heartbreaker" are my favorites. She is a national treasure for sure. As someone already mentioned, no one has had anything bad to say about her. She is a pure soul and an amazing songwriter and singer.

[kassemellor]

Dolly is a National Treasure, I just love her. ❤️

[ruthzeeck]

Dolly, as many have noted here, is a genuine national treasure. She’s a phenomenal poet, which is why her lyrics can pierce your very soul. I absolutely love her.

[RadioLaPrincess]

I grew up listening to Dolly, and to me she has always transcend genres. She's done so much for society and the world is better because of Dolly.

[jazzzebra]

I feel she is underestimated and sometimes even ignored by people of her talent. The stereotype of bombshell does her no justice. But she's super chill with all her songs as long as she got paid for the copyrights haha, and she did a lot of charity for her town!!

Some people come to this earth to do what they're meant to do, period. Dolly is one of those people. Amazing! 👏 👏 👏
