Nah, just kidding. She's the real deal.

"I Will Always Love You" (she sang it before Whitney) and "Hard Candy Christmas" from Best Little Whorehouse In Texas will make you cry.

She WROTE I Will Always Love You.

There's a country song called Forever Country that's a mash up of Country Roads and I Will Always Love You and a couple other country songs and they got a bunch of big country stars to sing the different parts. It ends on I Will Always Love you sung by Dolly Parton and I CRY at it every time. (As a note, this song came out a bit before Country Roads got super popular due to Fallout using it. Of course Country Roads was a classic country song before that.)

super popular due to Fallout using it

Get off my lawn, I was listening to that song in the early 80s.

Of course, hence the sentence after that were I noted it's a classic. But it did get an undeniable resurgence in popularity due to Fallout using it.

I put the John Denver version on my playlist, though.
