Big Break
After Dolly graduated from high school, she moved to Nashville and found success as a songwriter. Then in 1967, she scored a big break when musician and country music entertainer Porter Wagoner invited her on his show The Porter Wagoner Show. Initially fans were outraged at Dolly’s presence on the show, as she replaced Norma Jean, however in time, with Wagoner’s assistance and her killer vocals, fans adored Dolly. With the show, Parton’s success grew exponentially and as a farewell to Wagoner, our girl wrote a special song.

The Hit
The song Dolly wrote was called ‘I Will Always Love You.’ This song has been covered so many times since, so much so that many people believed that Whitney Houston was the first to release it! But folks, we know who the original is, don’t we.
