theone, Parton did not write "I will always love you" for Whitney. Dolly Parton wrote "I Will Always Love You" in 1973 as a farewell message to her mentor and business partner, Porter Wagoner.

May she RIP, she was truly a sweetheart, and flagrantly pro-black in her social&political views.

Wow, I too never knew she wrote "I will always love you" for Whitney, interesting. And I also never seen Dolly with Patti Labelle play "shortnin bread" on their acrylic nails back in 1987. (See video below)
