Dolly Parton says she doesn’t regret turning down Elvis Presley, who wanted to cover her ballad “I Will Always Love You” in the 1970s.

“Elvis loved “I Will Always Love You,” and he wanted to record it,” said Parton in a 2006 CMT interview. “I got the word that he was going to record it, and I was so excited. I told everybody I knew.

The cover was too good to be true after Parton was approached by Presley’s manager, Colonel Tom Parker, who demanded that Elvis receive a hefty portion of the publishing rights to the song.

“Now, you know we have a rule that Elvis don’t record anything that we don’t take half the publishing,” said Parker, according to Parton

“And I was really quiet,” said Parton.

“I said, ‘Well, now it’s already been a hit. I wrote it and I’ve already published it, and this is the stuff I’m leaving for my family when I’m dead and gone. That money goes in for stuff for my brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews, so I can’t give up half the publishing,’ and he said ‘Well then, we can’t record it.'”

Parton added, “I guess they thought since they already had it prepared and already had it ready, that I would do it. .. Something in my heart [said] ‘Don’t do that,’ and I just didn’t do it, and they just didn’t do it.”

Turning down Presley, said Parton, broke her heart because she truly wanted to hear him sing her song.
“I said, ‘I’m sorry, but I can’t give you the publishing,” said Parton. “I wanted to hear Elvis sing it, and it broke my heart I cried all night. But I had to keep that copyright in my pocket. You have to take care of your business.

Everybody’s going to use you if they can. These are my songs. They’re like my children. And I expect them to support me when I’m old.”

Though Presley never recorded the song, it still held a special place in his heart. Parton previously shared that his ex-wife Priscilla told her that he sang the song to her when they divorced. “Priscilla told me that when she and Elvis divorced, Elvis sang my song to her,” shared Parton. “That touched me so deeply.”

Dolly Parton stands as a testament to the strength and resilience of a woman whose unwavering spirit has conquered both the music industry and the hearts of millions. 💙

A 1946 story of a Chillicothe man who rode his bike to work and back over 33 years for a total of about 90,000 miles (about 10.5 miles every work day)

“It’s much easier to get out the bike than to bother with my car; also bicycling keeps one’s leg muscles in better trim.”

Arena District’s 1,000+ new residences are a big part of downtown’s housing growth, likely to hit 9,400 residences next year. #CBFPowerBreakfast

@Kandid61Kandi @malonespeaking She wasn’t uncomfortable with the topic, she feared breaking a promise to parents and the backlash that would result. Don’t make her the enemy. She was trying her best to adhere to parent expectations. None of us are perfect.
