In 1967, Dolly Parton was a 21-year-old nobody. Porter Wagoner gave her a spot on his show and made her a star. But he controlled everything—her music, her career, her decisions. When Dolly wanted to leave, he wouldn't let her go.

So she wrote him a song. Not as revenge. As a goodbye. When she sang it to him, he cried. He said it was the best song she ever wrote. But in 1979, he sued her for $3 million anyway.

Dolly settled and paid him the first million she ever made.

That song? "I Will Always Love You." It became one of the biggest hits in history. Today, Dolly Parton is worth over $650 million.

But in 2007, when Porter was dying, Dolly was at his bedside. She never stopped loving him.

Comment DOLLY if this gave you chills.
