Young man, you don't know how much I love your reaction. To see a young man that appreciates the music from my generation instead of thinking it's hokey, or cheesy, or to old fashioned gives me hope. There is great music from EVERY generation if we just give it a chance. Thanks from a fellow music lover!

TOTALLY OBLIVIOUS TO THE FACT WHITNEY COVERED IT DECADES LATER! I LOVE IT! It was soooo great to see him enjoy Dolly singing Dolly's song! It's based on a letter she wrote to Porter Wagoner when her contract to be part of his show expired and she decided to pursue a solo career. It thrills me that he loves her voice.

I have been tempted to bang my head in the wall every time I hear a young person listen to this song by Dolly and say, "Oh, this is a Whitney Houston song!"

yes music back in the day was much better then today, and its mainly because back then it was pure talent, there was no auto tune, no synthesizers to change the singers voice to sound better. the way you heard them on the records was how you heard them live in person, there are a number of todays singers that do have good quality voices, but a lot of them couldn't actually hum 2 notes if their lives depended on it without something like auto tune to make them sound better

This is not R&B. This is pure country. Almost all of the old country music (classic country) told stories. Some of them were sad stories, some were not. For instance, "Boy Named Sue" by Johnny Cash told a story but it was a funny story. If you want to hear another beautiful song written and performed by Dolly that is a true story, you should listen to "Coat of Many Colors" that was taken from a true event from her childhood. Yes, she has a beautiful voice and she writes amazing songs which is why, though she was born and raised in extreme poverty, she is currently worth about a half a billion dollars!

Whitney made it big and loud, and I appreciated that…but this, the original, was so pure and sweet and emotional on a real level (because it truly meant something when she wrote it), that it just takes my breath away. This version gives me chills, and makes me cry; something that Whitney’s version doesn’t do, as beautiful as it is.

Dolly has been married to one man for over 50 years and wrote a song about a bank teller that kept flirting with her husband. It's called Jolene. She said that she tore off her wig and almost beat her to death with it. She was one of 12 kids and her family was dirt poor growing up.
