🎶 This Date in Country Music History 🎶 June 12, 1973, a country classic was born.
On this day, Dolly Parton stepped into RCA’s Studio B in Nashville and recorded what would become one of the most iconic songs of all time — “I Will Always Love You.”
Written as a heartfelt farewell to her mentor and duet partner Porter Wagoner, the song topped the country charts in 1974… and then reached global heights nearly two decades later when Whitney Houston recorded it for The Bodyguard soundtrack, creating the best-selling single by a female artist in music history.
🎤🎥 From Nashville to Hollywood — one song, two legends, and a love that never fades.
💬 What’s your favorite version—Dolly’s or Whitney’s?
