In 1973, Dolly Parton knew she had to leave The Porter Wagoner Show. Porter had made her a star, but she needed her own voice, and every conversation turned into an argument. One night, instead of fighting, Dolly wrote a song that said everything she couldn’t. She called it “I Will Always Love You.”
The next morning, she played it for Porter. He cried. “That’s the prettiest song I ever heard,” he said. “You can go—if I get to produce it.” She agreed. The song went to No. 1.
Years later, Whitney Houston’s version made Dolly millions. She used that success to give away over 200 million books to children through her Imagination Library and to fund medical research, including vaccine development. A goodbye song became a gift to the world.
