I was today years old when I learned Elvis almost recorded “I Will Always Love You.” His manager wanted half of the publishing rights, so Dolly Parton put an end to theat. Even though Dolly is the original singer on the song most people think it’s Whitney Houston after making the song a smash in the movie “The Bodyguard.”
