Especially with the story of who and why it was written, makes the song much more meaningful

I'm curious- I've never heard that story?

I hadn't heard the story until a tour guide at the Ryman Auditorium told us about it during a backstage tour.

Dolly Parton vs. Porter Wagoner

First Blow: From 1967 to 1974 they were singing partners, and though Porter claimed they had been more, Dolly disagreed. When the partnership ended, Dolly wrote 'I Will Always Love You' for him. But there wasn't much love in 1979, when Porter filed a $3 million breach of contract suit against her.

Final Round: The two made up. In 1988, they performed together on Dolly's TV variety show. And she was at Porter's bedside when he died in 2007.

Porter had a country music show on tv and he took Dolly on as an unknown as a regular on his show, over the years she developed and grew but knew she had to leave to move forward. She quit but wrote the song and sang it on her last appearance on his show. Like Vicki says he did sue her but they did make up and had a duet live on tv to show it was all behind them, to the end he wouldn't say a bad word about her and Dolly always credits him for helping her to be who she is now
