In the 1970s, Elvis Presley wanted to record the song I Will Always Love You. Its writer, Dolly Parton, was excited—until a condition appeared: Elvis’s team asked for half of the song’s publishing rights. Parton refused. The song meant too much to her, and she didn’t want to give away ownership. Many people told her she was making a mistake, but she stood by her decision. Years later, Whitney Houston recorded the song for The Bodyguard, turning it into one of the biggest hits in music history. By keeping the rights, Dolly protected the song she loved—and the success that followed remained entirely hers.
