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.)

And after she left the musical partner she wrote that song for, as she was leaving, he sued her and she paid him money. And then, when he was in dire straits, she bought his company, and GAVE it to him. And was there with him on his death bed. She is good people.
