Dolly Parton, the artist behind the song “I Will Always Love You,” is far from sought after. But before the song became a huge hit for Whitney Houston, it could have been sung by another icon: Elvis Presley! However, Dolly Parton chose to decline the King’s offer.
Many people don’t know this yet, but it was Dolly Parton who wrote, mixed, and performed “I Will Always Love You,” long before Whitney Houston’s version in the film The Bodyguard.
The song was a touching tribute to her mentor, Porter Wagoner. In 1992, Whitney Houston covered the song for the film’s soundtrack, where it enjoyed phenomenal success, selling approximately 20 million copies. However, the fate of this song could have been quite different.

In 1974, almost 20 years before Whitney Houston, Elvis Presley considered performing “I Will Always Love You.” According to legend, the King sang this song to Priscilla Presley on the courthouse steps after their divorce.
Dolly Parton originally accepted Elvis’s proposal. “I was invited to the studio to meet Elvis and watch him record my song. It was the most charming thing I’ve ever experienced. Who doesn’t love Elvis?” Dolly Parton told CMT in 2006.
