Listen to Dolly's original version when your heart is breaking, listen to Whitney's version when you're ready to move on. I don't know why, but you can feel the difference.
This makes TOTAL sense.
Man, you nailed it
Bootiful both ways
Completely agree❤️
this was well said
She wrote this and 'Jolene' on the same day...
Love was def going through it that day lmao
she was in her feelings lol
That is called a good day.
@Arthur Marston drake cant write a song to save his life
@@wickedhouston5538 nice cap lmao
She wrote one of the most beautiful songs in the world.
That's cool. You're very smart. God bless you, Faith L...!! How are you doing today I hope you enjoyed the sweet melody of Dolly's song Right 👍? Coz I'm a big fan of Dolly Parton.💞😇👀
only when you hear Whitneys version.
@@marymarly1768
Whitney's version is garbage next to this.
@@bradhuskers What? Sorry...Dolly is amazing. An angel on earth...but if you can't appreciate Whitney's rendition than you're a broken person. Even Dolly said she first heard it in her car and had to pull over she was so emotional over how beautiful Whitney sung her song.
@proverbialmind_spread9421
No.
You are broken dear.
And the people who disrespect dolly, are broken as well.
I'm sorry to say I never knew that Dolly sang this originally. This is absolutely beautiful
Not only sang it...but she wrote it!!!❤ and yes it is a beautiful song
I'm just finding out myself!
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.
join the freakin club lol
Dolly WROTE and sang it.
It’s okay to like Dolly’s original and Whitney’s cover, folks. Really, it is.
This comment ^^
Memories for young or old
Thanks man. I was biting my nails not wanting to choose.
I love both 🥰🥰
It’s okay as long as people remember that Dolly was the original 😋
"I don't care who gets the credit as long as I get the check"
-Dolly Parton.
Dolly is the greatest songwriter EVER. Change my mind.
@@mikejames2712 Stevie Wonder
@@kaniajones4029 Not even close...IMHO
@@mikejames2712 With all due respect, Dolly has over 50 albums and none of them went #1. She has just 2 #1 songs. One is a duet.
We are talking overall music consumption. Not just a specific genre.
Stevland Morris wrote his first #1 song at age 13. A record still unbroken. He now has 10 #1 songs. Nine are solo. He has 3 Album of The Year Grammys and 3 #1 albums. He is widely known as a musical genius and is known as a PIONEER of music. He, in my opinion and backed by facts, is ahead of Dolly Parton and truly one of the greatest song writers ever.
@@mikejames2712 you missed where I said OVERALL music charts. I know she had 25 top country hits. Which is amazing by the way. But her country hits weren’t bigger than the other genres out at that time. When Stevie topped the r&b charts, he topped the pop charts too. Both great writers but she aint messin’ with Stevie and many others. Good day
The fact that she wrote this AND Jolene in less than 48 hours is insane.
Whats the real story. I've heard some say she wrote it on the same day...
@jeffreyyoungblood7438 have you ever heard of google? or do we have to do that for you as well?
how?
It was actually less than 24 hours
@@RS-zp6hbYes, could you please hear Google for us. Thank you.
Today was the day I learned that this is Dolly Parton song
as for me it's today.
@@itsforty.same😂
Same here that's why I'm here ❤
For me it s today 😅
An today's the day I learned lol
Love this song. To me, Whitney's version is like eating out at a fancy restaurant and having a great meal. This version is grandmas home cooked meal with the family on a Sunday after being away for a very long time, love it.
I love the comparison!
@Oscar Sebeloane What a lovely comment!
Love that metaphor
Best analogy here.
This comment should have more upvotes, really. Great analogy!
While the Whitney version is much more acrobatic and intense, this version is much more emotional and heartfelt in it's delivery. It comes off feeling more beautiful and touching.
Philthy well Dolly Parton is the original maker of the song it should be and stay a country song
Philthy Whitney’s version is more my generation. But I love this original too
I will never understand the popularity of the Houston cover; irritating vocal gymnastics and zero soul.
this is the original singer is dolly
Are you crazy, Dolly Parton said herself that Whitneys version is way better. Dolly Parton can't hold a candle to Whitney. @@BDevine64
This is the version that makes me cry. I can envision Dolly telling this to Porter when they parted ways. She sings it with a southern belle cry in her voice…like a lullaby.
Indeed it is so touching
Whitney sang lt with her heart, but Dolly sang it with her soul 😘😘😚
. . . Absolutely. Lifelong Texas girl here. ✋🏽 🇨🇱 💋 I can attest to the fact. ---->>>>
**NOTE: "Bittersweet memories . . . " I get misty eyed. In life, you have to learn how to take the good alongside the bad. ♥
Wow I never knew dollys was the original. That's amazing she sings it so beautifully
Just played it at my husband's funeral 😢.

You doin alright today Ma’am?
I'm a writer, and I listen to this when I destroy my characters' love lives.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same we all had that times when we listen to heartbreaking songs everytime we write heartbreaking scenes lol
Thats what im doing right now lol
LOL
wonder if the makers of GOT listened to this before they destroyed the last season LOLOLOL
I grew up with Whitney’s version without knowing Dolly’s. Both versions have a place. Thank you both for giving us these songs
You know that whitney OD'ed don't you? RIP
Dolly wrote so many great songs - that she RARELY even gets credit for! A lot of people were amazed that she wrote the song that Whitney made so much of (on). I loved Whitney's cover, but I'm an "old" hick and knew "up front" that it was just a cover. GRANTED it was a SUPER cover, but nonetheless... ;-)
@@scottp.2995 Well, Dolly actually made way more than Whitney, because of royalties since it’s her song. But both are beautiful.
But one is the original and the other a cover, if it were the other way it would be called stolen or appropriated
@@glipgloop2121 yes!! she earned over $20m from whitney's cover alone
I’m a black girl from Tennessee I love the southern meek and soft classic original AND I love the powerful strength of Whitney’s. And Dolly enjoyed both also.
Yes I just watched Priscilla.
I think the last scene was so touching and deep despite it being a small and short scene. There's no way to be a woman and not feel empathy for her, you wonder how much she endured and how brave she had to be to take her leave, see her driving that car... just freedom.
I’m 30 years old and just found out this is the original. Mind blown 🤯
*Edit*Mind blown on the amount of likes 🤯
Thanks y’all 🥰
Me tooo...
Me threeeee😳😩
@@teeteerider6471 Me four!
Same!
33 just found out 2 mins ago lol
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.
This makes no sense dead both good songs Whitney did not diminish what this songs stance for unlike all the other artist out there today that use old songs in sing them today, Does not know as long as she stayed true to what the song meant
@Hilary that was exactly what I was thinking!
I like that both versions tell the story of the song differently. And both are valid! But since Dolly wrote it herself, she knows the heart and soul of the song. But that doesn't discount Whitney's amazing technical vocal feat.
It's a giving both woman are remarkable but dolly made the song ment it and felt it! It's dolly's song and may she rest easy just thank her for the music and dont put a compareason onto her music
@@davidspearim5552 another great choice will be Linda Ronstadt's version ..as in most cases
50 years later and this is still such a beautiful work of art!
And Will Always Be
Both versions gave me goosebumps. Just basically a great song 🥺❤
This one is better IMO
dolly parton owns the song
Me too🥹🥹🥹
@@vipr1142no it’s not. Whitney did an excellent job
I like Whitney but after hearing this original version, i prefer this one that has more feelings.
Both versions are incredible and feel completely different. If I wanna belt this out from the top of a mountain, it's Whitney. If I wanna keep this to myself in a candlelit room, it's Dolly.
Very well said. My exact sentiments
That’s a great analogy
This song is so sad
thanks for this comment I feel the same way KAREN DAMRON kentucky
Dolly doesn't have a "version" because Dolly's is the original. Whitney had a "version" or rendition of Dolly's sh!t.
Whitney's version is about moving on in love
Dolly's is about moving on in life
Both had meaning and both should be respected
But,their both the same lyrics 🤦🏾♂️
Genius
That's a really good take.
@@aaronbell89 They convey different emotions, dummy
When I was younger I loved Whitney's version, now that I'm older I'm loving Dolly's more. Each version is beautiful in it's own unique way ❤
Just found out Dolly wrote this. So wonderful.
she's always has an angelic voice.

Priscilla ❤.
Of course it ripped mine as well and I hope you’re having a good day today, we could meet and enjoy the song together
Returning to this classic after watching Priscilla! Always a favorite!!!!
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.
Hope you are doing well now. Sorry I just don’t know what to say
😢I'm crying with you,
Our tears are diamonds melting from our hearts 💞
I’m Tearing up at your story… And I’m not the kind of person who does that
I'm a bit fragile after reading that whilst listening to the song. Sorry for your loss, what a lovely way to remember them by.
Pray for your grandmother. Your prayers will reach and comfort her.
She can make a grown man cry

So do onions lol
Whitney sang it - excellently, Dolly lived it - greatness. With Dolly it was a true story.
Yes thanks
How the hell I only knew this now? Thanks Priscilla film for making me discover this gem.
I saw this in an ad with dogs and now I don't know why I am crying lol.
same lol it was a air b and b ad that made me look up this video
I just saw that!!! And here I am as a result
Omg, same! Lol
me too i was like i have to know what song this is
Hey y'all, just so you know, Dolly wrote and sang this song WAY before Whitney was singing anything. I love both versions. And I love the Air B&B commercial too. ;)
I really love this original version of the song. 😭❤
Same here,carlos
Yeah
Pinoy ka??!
This one is better bc this is the original. She wrote this song in 1974
I'm here after Priscilla. This was the best part of a difficult movie that needed to end.
Agreed
me too
They played this at the end of Priscilla and I got teary eyed 🫠
same. easy in my top ten movies of the year
Priscilla says Elvis sang it to her after their divorce
I think that comparing this to Whitney’s is like comparing apples to oranges. They are extremely different! However people might like apples better than oranges and that’s just their taste. Let’s stop arguing about who did it better and just enjoy what we like!
True. Dolly's version is the original version anyway. So you cant really compare the two
One is from the Heart and the other for the wallet
Oh yeah That’s right I don’t care
I like the oranges. There not as dark as the apples
Get it
I love you guys
@@trainguy85 👍🏾😎 And just for the record: I'm a Black man from L.A. And yes..I LOVE WHITNEY. Having said that: I (ALSO) LOVE DOLLY. But to your point, when I heard Ms.Parton say something about ROYALTY CHECKS, it made me adore & respect her all the more❗ 😗
When I was a kid I used to love Whitney's cover but now as I've gotten older, I find myself more drawn to the original. There's something so simple and heartfelt about this version that is moving.
But she stuck to the original soundtrack and all You watch someone will remix this song and destroy it, it Always happens To good music
I know....❤️
It’s the deep authenticity.
Me and too
Oh my god i cant believe at 36 years old im just finding put that this is the original version. Dolly's version brought me to tears, something Whitney's version has never done. This was absolutely beautiful.
Same but Im 44 years 😅
Now, while Whitney’s vocals were unmatched, Dolly’s version will always be my favorite. Her tone makes the lyrics more believable.
Her song is simple but meaningful in tune.
So true. Whitney had too much strength for the song.
And that’s a flaw ? Lmao
All this time I thought Whitney wrote this song 🤦🏽♀️😂
It’s heartfelt
.... this is the last song me and my mom sung before she passed away I can't believe I actually have the guts to come and listen to this again
So sorry for you and your family's loss
So sorry for you lost omg 😞
Mum passed away during the lockdown in a nursing home
❤️
I'm so sorry my love :( I wish you all the best
If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you each step of the way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
Bittersweet memories
That's all I'm taking with me
Goodbye, please don't cry
We both know that I'm not what you need
But I will always love you
I will always love you
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you love
And I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
Thanks so much for the words to this song.
💙🌎
She is very clever with the lyrics and thoughtful not to hurt Porter Wagoner by saying she was in his way and he didn’t need her, when in fact she was the real star!
Very gracious.
And she made a killing from the song!
Thank you !
I just lost my dad and he requested this song be played at his funeral service. He always loved this song. Now it feels like he is saying these words to me. Thank you to Dolly. I will always love you, dad. ❤️ ❤xx
Hello 👋
Priscilla brougth me here to listen this amazing and emotional version. The singer's heart seems to be in her mouth. ❤
My wife left me after 14 years together. This song has helped me grieve over her loss.
May you be blessed and always feel her love ❤️. She’s on the other side of the rainbow and you’ll be there too 🙏🏽
Please take care ♥️
Sorry for your loss. I lost my husband this year 2022 after 36 years together and this song meant a lot to us.
Here you brother. I was 15 years. This song is grief, hope and respect all in one. Helped me immensely also. All the best.
I hope you find peace and meaning in your situation and that you find many years of joy.
Oh, Dolly's voice, unreal, flutters like a butterfly with such delicacy and tenderness. It fills my heart.
I've always said one gives me goosebumps ... the other makes my skin crawl and hurts my ears 😂
@@donvee19591 people get upset with me cuz the other one hurts my head and ears.
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.
It's sung with two different meanings. This one feels like a heart break. Like two ppl walking away.
Whitney's is more of a gtfo but I'll always love you
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."
Here i am 14 years old, listening to Dolly’s version the first time and I’ve never actually cried listening to a song the first time but i am right now, i’ve always loved dolly thanks to my lovely nan who passed a few years ago the day before my birthday, this has moved me
I definitely appreciate both versions of this song
Me too
different vibes, both do beautiful
this is dolly porton song
Same! They’re both incredible in different ways.
90% comments of "let's stop arguing who's version was better"
10% of comments actually "arguing who's version was better"
LMAO
I remember waking up to this song in early morning with my mother playing it she sadly passed away 6 years ago to cancer will always be in my heart ❤
Just watched the movie Priscilla and what a beautiful way to end the movie with this beautiful song❤❤❤
I literally just ened the movie and I'm here 😂
Nobody does this song like Dolly. This is hers, and no one does it better. She puts her heart into her songs. She's a Country Music legend.
Here we go again, debating which version of a song is better. Both Dolly and Whitney gave us impassioned and beautiful recordings. Can't we just let it go at that?
One is full of emotion, one is just bellowing. Can't we just let it go at that ?
Thank you... I don't understand why people want to fight about that... Choose the one you love, and love the other one too...
why not let people say their opinions?
I like them both, but for different reasons. Whitney gives a really powerful performance, but I hear more emotion in the Dolly recording.
Graham Turner it’s not bellowing, it’s soulful- singing has variations in many different parts of the world and evokes emotions in many different ways. You’re just ignorant to music. Probably racism plays a part in why you’ve said that. No one disputes how amazing Whitney did.
This is the BEST version of this song, for the same reason the original version of a song usually is, because it's the most genuine and heartfelt, two things that remakes, no matter how great they are, never quite have.
This women was n is n will always b a 10. Smart af, kind, beautiful, n an American legend. Live on, live long Dolly.
❤❤❤❤❤
Dolly’s version is so soft and pretty. It’s very angelic.
I am a metalhead and guitarist but this is one of my favorite songs of all time. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU DOLLY.💗
My dad used to play this and dance with me, when i was little. ❤
Of course it ripped mine as well and I hope you’re having a good day today, we could meet and enjoy the song together
Hope your having a good day as well :)
Her voice so soft. I always hear this when i sleep. I really love this original song. Sooo beautiful. I cry when hear this. So touching
Whitney’s was radio and perfect. Dolly’s is a drive out of the city after a break up. I don’t want attention or anyone, just want to be alone. End up in some small bar with an unknown but talented singer who sings the perfect song to go with my whiskey and heartache.
Dolly should be a national treasure to your country. She is so totally selfless, compassionate, child-like, kind and cute. That's not even taking into account how quick-wittedly funny she is, how stunningly beautiful she was in her younger years and how naturally talented she is as a singer and songwriter. A true artist and musician to be remembered for centuries.
For those who hate on Dolly Parton cause of Whitney Houston’s cover: Dolly Parton has a higher range, while Whitney Houston hit top 10 with her cover once, Dolly Parton hit number 1 with this song six times.
When you've only heard the Bodyguard version its genuinely startling to discover how beautiful this is.
both versions are very good, I prefer Dolly's. I feel the raw emotion of the song comes out more in her version.
My favorite thing about this song though is the story Dolly tells about how when she first heard Whitney's version she didn't realize what the song was at first, just that it sounded familiar, and when it got to the chorus it surprised her so much she nearly had a car accident xD
Well, there's more emotion in this one, since it was honest song. Dolly write if for Porter Wagoner wneh she was about to leave their band and go solo.
No matter what version is your favorite, I think we can all agree that the song itself is one of the most beautiful things ever written.
WHEN SHE SINGS....SHE SINGS IT WITH A HEART...❤
Hello 👋 That's cool. You're very smart lol 😆. God bless you, Nicole..!! How are you doing today I hope you enjoyed the sweet melody of Dolly's song Right 👍?
I can't believe I'm only learning now that this was her song... I've always adored Whitney Houston's version, but it never brought tears to my eyes. This one definitely did 🥲
It sounds so much more heartfelt and authentic. Her voice literally speaks sadness.
I’m 32 and I NEVER knew this was a cover! Wow! Still amazing. It’s insane how different the song is with the same words and melody. This makes me love MUSIC even more! ❤️
Yes, bet you didn't know Whitney was singing about a country white guy that wore rhinestone suits lol....Dolly wrote this for Porter Waggoner right before their singing relationship ended..
Actually Dolly took this song to number 1 in 2 different decades
Same! I discovered this information today
Dolly is in a documentary that's streaming now. Called "Died Suddenly". She has a big part at the end, summing it all up.
@valjb8467 Don't feel bad, I'm 51 and I just found out about it 10 minutes ago.
So, I was totally shocked when my partner told me that Whitney's is actually a cover!
And now I simply adore the both of them - those super strong & talented women! BRAVA!❣️
Dolly's is the best version, let's admit it. After all she is the original writer and singer of this classic. Dolly owns this one.
Dolly is the queen of country her voice is beautiful ❤
Dolly’s version of this song is full or raw emotion. Love it
Yes, i‘m completely agree Dolly‘s version is full of raw emotion. I love Dolly‘s version and her voice 💞
I did not know that the Whitney Houston version was a cover, thank you for making me aware of this Mr. Lynch!
Found out about this a few minutes ago. I grew up knowing it was Whitney's original song.. Came across a vid on facebook showing both original singers and singers I actually grew up knowing it's theirs originally. I don't know why but I went here to see who was the lovely lady singing it in such a different and sweet tone and just wow. I love it.
Dolly sings this so tenderly
If RUclips was made in the 70s in 1974 all of Dolly Parton songs will have and lots of views and lots of likes
Meghan Trainor Maren Morris that’s right. People seem to forget that music like this was popular once and was on the same radio stations that play today’s popular music
Meghan Trainor Maren Morris Yess girl
So poetic.
Brandon T I don’t even keep up with the music scene
Meghan Trainor Maren Morris rolling, pink Floyd, Beatles etc
This original version breaks my heart, you can tell that is a broken heart singing right there! while Whitney version is an impressive powerful voice....gives another message! lovee both version but for me Dolly version is the one!
Whitney version is powerful. Lease u can do is give her credit
No whitney the best because her voice woow
It is and always will be Dolly's song. Dead crackheads don't get credit for something that doesn't belong to them.
Dolly's rendition has its message a different department of the heart, while Whitney says something else to another. Both are just unique.
my daughter has issues and has not allowed me to see my only grandchild for three years. This song sums it up. I will always love you Hayden.
Dolly's voice makes me feel so safe. My late great-grandma had a accent similar to hers, and anytime I hear her voice I think of her and smile. Dolly is the only country artist I listen to, to be honest. 💖
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I grew up with Dolly’s version. It was out there for 38 years before Whitney did her version. I appreciate Whitney’s version, but for me it will always be a cover. I have DECADES of history listening to Dolly’s version. Whitney’s is still in its first decade. And, at the same time, I have to say that they are both timeless.
Um..Dolly's version is 1973 and Whitney's is 1992. That's 19 years, not 38. You ok?
God bless Dolly, there will never be a more talented and magical Female country and western singer... God bless her xxd
The original recording and best version...Dolly sings it so beautifully
David Lynch sent me
This is beautiful indeed
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.
One of the most beautiful songs 🎵 in the universe 🎉❤
I hate how everybody is comparing whitney's version with this, JUST ENJOY BOTH AND SHUT UP.
Thank you.
Yes
Nope! Nobody tells GOD to shut up! Those who listen with thee LORDS ears, know Dolly’s is pure, Whitney’s is good. Since when is speaking the Truth a bad thing?😊
Her voice is SO calming
Knowing that she’s the one who composed this gave me more respect to her. I can’t have a crush on a woman my grandmother’s age. But my outmost respect to her. She’s a legend
I've shared this beautiful song and dance with my love in 1997. He was my grad date and this song was played that beautiful night. I was absolutely wrapped in his arms and so close to him. Beautiful memory.❤
I will always love you M. Raymond in BC.
You have my ❤
And I believe you still having a wonderful relationship and marriage life with you
Regardless of which version you prefer, as the sole songwriter credit, Dolly is the one who gets the royalties every time they both are played. Our ca-ching queen lol.
This version is the sweetest.
I really appreciate this song in the original form
I love this grandma 🙂 >>> my favorite´s version of this song...
