Dolly Parton will make millions for writing and singing ‘I Will Always Love You’ in 1973, while Whitney seems to always get credit for it. Take that one to the bank!


As the world mourns Whitney Houston, her music has set the charts alight again.
And the record companies along with the writers of her songs are set to profit from her tragic death last Saturday – among them country singer Dolly Parton.
Dolly on Hee Haw 1975 'I will always love you.'
The iconic country singer wrote I Will Always Love You back in 1973, before Houston recorded it for The Bodyguard nearly two decades later.  As Dolly, 66, owns the song, she stands to earn a significant amount of money as the No1 hit is expected to top the iTunes singles chart.
During an interview on CNN with Anderson Cooper last month, the Steel Magnolias actress revealed: ‘When Whitney did it, I got all the money for the publishing and for the writing, and I bought a lot of cheap wigs.’

The legendary song, which shot to No1 across the globe, was sung by Jennifer Hudson as a tribute during the 54th Grammy Awards on Sunday.more at source
