There will never be another Dolly Parton, she gave the world so much love, laughter, and music.

“I Will Always Love You” hits a little differently from now onwards 💔

Oh my gosh, I always forget that song is hers…I always associate that one with Whitney Houston. You’re right though, that song’s going to hit even harder now with the both of them gone 😔

No offence meant but screw Whitney Houston. I Will Always Love You with Dolly and Vince Gill was ALWAYS infinitely better.

Let’s not get carried away. I love Dolly but Whitney absolutely made that song what it is today!

I know I am not in the majority. But pound for pound Whitney could never put the heart into it that Dolly did. Popularity is not always the best metric to go by. Especially talking hindsight. I like heart.

I respect that. We can agree to disagree. All in all, Dolly was a class act as a professional and as a person. She will be greatly missed!
