CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:"i will always love you" trivia for you....Interesting about Dolly and Elvis!! I read Dolly was shattered when I Will Always Love You was used at Whitney's funeral. As for Iced Tea, I was raised on it, not instant though and with sugar. It's great!!
Dolly actually wrote the song for a certain Elvis Aaron Presley initially, but EP's manager Tom Parker wanted half the writer royalties in exchange for The King to record it...
Dolly declined saying "i wrote it,i deserve the credit and any monies it earns", Tom Parker then advised her that he would not allow Elvis to record it.
Elvis would have done a good job with that song circa 1971-ish but alas never got the chance to do so!
also on the "iced tea" thing...i had some real good iced tea at Music Head's place in 2011....i liked it so much i asked him for his wife's recipe,awesome stuff!
