dolly Parton’s story is one of talent

hard work kindness and staying grounded

qualities that have made her a true

legend in music and beyond still even

someone as sweet as Dolly has her limits

over time a few names have come up again

and again people who tried to boss her

around doubted her or tried to take

credit for her hard work dolly may smile

in front of the cameras but she doesn’t

forget behind the scenes there have been

quiet fights hurt feelings and deep

disappointments one of the first and

most complicated was with the man who

helped start her career then tried to

control it that story the dramatic split

between Dolly Parton and Porter Wagner

was one of the biggest breakups in

country music history what exactly

happened dolly Parton and Porter Wagner

then it’s that P again

p one more time uh-huh before Dolly

Parton became a worldwide superstar she

was the newest voice on one of the

biggest country music shows in America

The Porter Wagner Show porter Wagner was

already a country legend by the late

1960s known for his flashy rhinestone

suits big personality and smooth voice

he wasn’t just a performer he was a

showman with his popular TV show watched

by millions Porter had the power to

shape careers and when he spotted Dolly

Parton a young singer from East

Tennessee he saw something special in

1967 Dolly joined Porter’s show taking

the place of his previous singing

partner Norma Jean at first not everyone

was happy about the change some of

Porter’s fans missed the old singer and

weren’t sure about this new girl with a

big hair and sweet smile but Dolly

didn’t let that stop her she kept

singing her heart out showing up with

grace talent and

determination soon the audience came

around people across the country fell in

love with her voice her charm and her

warm personality on stage Dolly and

Porter seemed like the perfect duo their

voices blended beautifully and their

chemistry lit up the screen their

harmonies melted hearts their stage

banter felt electric and fans came to

see them not just as partners in song

but as something more though they never

claimed to be romantically involved

together they scored over a dozen top 10

hits but while the music sounded perfect

behind the scenes things weren’t always

so smooth their time together on stage

may have looked perfect but behind the

scenes Dolly and Porter’s partnership

was getting harder to hold together

porter was from the old school of

country music he liked having control

and believed he was the one guiding

Dolly’s rise but Dolly had big dreams of

her own as her star kept rising she

started feeling trapped for years Dolly

stayed grateful for the boost Porter had

given her but the more successful she

became the more she wanted to make her

own choices and sing the songs that

truly spoke to her heart she began

writing music that didn’t quite fit the

Porter and Dolly image she wanted

freedom not just to create but to be

seen as an equal dolly later shared that

one of the biggest problems was Porter

couldn’t quite see her as a partner he

had once given her a stage but as time

passed that stage began to feel like a

cage still she didn’t walk away right

away she respected him and she knew how

much he had helped her but by 1973 the

tension had grown too strong to ignore

in 1974 Dolly made the toughest decision

of her career she told Porter she had to

leave the show she knew she was ready to

fly solo but she didn’t just say the

words she sang them sitting Porter down

in his office she performed a song she

had written just for him i will always

love you it was her way of saying thank

you and goodbye all at once porter was

touched and reportedly moved to tears

but even with the emotion in the room he

wasn’t ready to let her go not without a

fight dolly’s departure sparked a slow

burning resentment porter felt betrayed

claiming he had built her career and

deserved compensation in 1979 5 years

after her exit he stunned the industry

by suing her for $3 million he alleged a

breach of contract and demanded a share

of her income for life the lawsuit

dragged their feud into the spotlight

tarnishing the once golden image of

their partnership the suit was

eventually settled quietly out of court

dolly would later admit Porter got her

first million dollars saying it took her

a long time to pay it off but she did

what she thought was right her success

skyrocketed as she became a global icon

an actress a businesswoman and one of

music’s most beloved figures yet the

ghost of that lawsuit lingered for years

and then Time did what time does best it

softened old wounds in the late 1980s

the two began speaking again dolly

always said she loved Porter even when

she was angry with him they appeared

together at events and even recorded

music again in 2002 the moment that

sealed their reconciliation came when

Dolly took the stage to induct Porter

into the Country Music Hall of Fame her

words were heartfelt and full of grace

she called Porter her mentor her friend

and a part of her heart when Porter

Wagner fell seriously ill in 2007 with

lung cancer Dolly didn’t hesitate she

went to visit him in the hospital just a

few weeks later Porter passed away dolly

was heartbroken to honor him she held a

quiet tribute concert at Dollywood not

for the press not for publicity but for

the man who had played such a big part

in her early career despite all the

struggles and tension between them Dolly

never forgot what he had done for her

their relationship had always been rocky

dolly once described it as being like

oil and water they clashed often but

they also cared deeply it was a mix of

fiery emotions and strong loyalty and it

left a lasting mark on Dolly’s life and

career the ups and downs with Porter

shaped her teaching her how to stand up

for herself follow her path and still

carry Grace through it all but as

complicated as things were with Porter

the next person on Dolly’s list brought

a different kind of trouble someone who

may have tried to steal one of her most

beloved songs Dolly Parton and Elvis

Presley for Dolly Parton and Elvis

Presley their story began in the early

1970s with a shared love for one

powerful song I Will Always Love You

elvis had heard the track and was deeply

moved by its heartfelt lyrics and

emotional depth he was so touched by the

song that according to Dolly he even

sang it privately to his soon-to-be

ex-wife Priscilla during their divorce

that moment made the song even more

meaningful showing how its message of

love and letting go could touch even the

most famous hearts for Dolly hearing

that Elvis wanted to record her song was

almost unbelievable she had grown up

idolizing him he was the king of rock

and roll a larger than-l life figure she

had admired since childhood the idea

that someone like Elvis not only

appreciated her songwriting but wanted

to make it his own was beyond exciting

it felt like a once- ina-lifetime

opportunity and a huge honor to Dolly it

was as if one of her biggest dreams was

about to come true but that dream soon

unraveled before any recording could

happen Elvis’s powerful and

controversial manager Colonel Tom Parker

presented a non-negotiable demand elvis

would only record the song if he and

Presley were given at least 50% of the

publishing rights this was standard

practice for Parker who frequently

strongarmed songwriters into giving up

ownership in exchange for the exposure

that came with an Elvis recording to

many this was the price of fame but to

Dolly Parton it was a dealbreaker at the

time Parton was still cementing her

place in the music industry holding on

to her publishing rights meant securing

her future as a songwriter and

businesswoman something few women in

country music had managed to do still

the emotional weight of the decision was

immense turning down Elvis felt like

sacrilege parton later revealed that she

was devastated crying through the night

as the realization hit her she had

walked away from an opportunity most

artists would have leaped at there’s

also speculation that Parton’s decision

may have stemmed from deeper concerns

colonel Parker’s reputation in the

industry was far from flattering many

insiders viewed him as a manipulative

figure who frequently put his interests

above those of the artists he managed

parton sharp and intuitive may have

sensed that any agreement involving

Parker would come with long-term

consequences she wasn’t willing to face

as painful as it was in the moment her

refusal turned out to be a master stroke

of foresight nearly two decades later

Whitney Houston recorded I will always

love you for the Bodyguard soundtrack

her version became a global phenomenon

shattering sales records and earning

countless awards because Dolly retained

100% of the publishing rights the

royalties made her one of the most

financially successful songwriters in

history it’s estimated that she earned

tens of millions from that single song

money she would have forfeited if she

had given in to Parker’s demands in the

end the heartbreak of losing Elvis’s

version transformed into a testament to

Parton’s vision integrity and strength

the story remains one of the most

compelling what-ifs in popular music

what would Elvis’s rendition have

sounded like what legacy might it have

left behind we’ll never know but thanks

to Parton’s refusal to surrender her

song we do know what it looks like when

an artist stands her ground and wins the

next person on our list made a remark

that stunned not only Dolly but the

whole world even more surprising since

she was supposed to be her friend dolly

Parton and Linda Ronstead

[Music]

dolly Parton and Linda Ronstat were two

of the most beloved singers of their

time both had powerful voices and strong

personalities and they each came from

very different musical backgrounds dolly

was a country music legend from

Tennessee known for her quick wit her

sparkle and her unstoppable drive linda

was a folk rock singer from Arizona

deeply thoughtful detailoriented and

known for her emotional precise singing

when they teamed up with their close

friend Emiloo Harris to create Trio

their voices blended like magic the

album was a huge success and fans were

eager for more but what many didn’t see

was that Dolly and Linda had a hard time

working together behind the scenes

different worlds different ways dolly

liked to work fast she was busy with

many projects writing songs making

records acting in movies and running her

businesses she would come into the

studio knock out her parts with

confidence and expect to move on linda

on the other hand treated the studio

like a lab she wanted everything to be

just right if a note felt off she would

record it over and over again she

focused on every detail breath tone

timing she wasn’t in a hurry she

believed great art needed patience to

Dolly this felt slow and frustrating she

once joked that Linda was a pain in the

ass because she was so picky about every

take to Linda Dolly’s laid-back attitude

could feel careless or even

disrespectful she didn’t like that Dolly

would sometimes cancel recording

sessions at the last minute linda felt

that if they were going to work together

everyone had to be fully committed these

two women each so gifted were just wired

very differently one moved with her

heart and instinct the other moved with

precision and focus as they began

working on Trio 2 these differences

started to pull them apart the album

kept getting delayed dolly wanted to

push the release even further so she

could promote it better but Linda had

already waited long enough she was tired

of waiting on schedules disagreements

and delays so in a move that surprised

many she took some of the songs from the

project removed Dolly’s vocals and used

them for her album Feels Like Home this

hurt Dolly deeply to her it felt like a

betrayal she had poured her time and

voice into those songs and now they were

being put out without her she didn’t

understand why Linda couldn’t just wait

a little longer to Linda it was about

moving forward she didn’t see it as

personal just practical but Dolly who

values loyalty and respect above all

took it to heart over time the gap

between them grew their collaboration

which had once felt exciting and new

became more of a burden linda began

facing serious health problems including

Parkinson’s disease which eventually

took away her ability to sing though

they never had a loud public fight the

tension between them never fully

disappeared unlike Dolly’s relationship

with Porter Wagner which healed over

time her connection with Linda seemed to

quietly fade away despite their

occasional disagreements both women held

a deep admiration for each other’s

talent dolly often praised Linda saying

she had one of the most beautiful voices

in the world and Linda in turn described

Dolly as a force of nature when it came

to songwriting and creativity they

recognized that when they joined their

voices something truly magical happened

something that didn’t come along often

both were passionate artists with high

standards and that shared perfectionism

sometimes caused friction their creative

approaches didn’t always align leading

to moments of tension but underneath

those differences was a mutual respect

and a desire to create something

meaningful and lasting their

collaboration was a blend of brilliance

and challenge a relationship where

artistic sparks flew in both beautiful

and complicated ways dolly Parton and

Howard Stern i mean I’m not blowing

smoke up your ass you look

fantastic well thank you and you know

you’ve never Howard Stern is known for

saying wild and shocking things on his

radio show he often tries to be funny by

crossing the line and his fans are used

to that kind of humor but in 2008 he

said something about Dolly Parton that

upset a lot of people many felt he had

gone too far dolly Parton is loved not

just for her beautiful singing and

songwriting but also for being kind

funny and humble she’s known for her

bright smile and quick jokes and she

usually laughs even when people make fun

of her or ask rude questions but when

Howard Stern disrespectfully targeted

her it hurt her even someone as

good-natured as Dolly has a limit and

this time she had had enough at the time

Dolly had released an audiobook version

of her memoir My Life and Other

Unfinished Business where she shared

honest stories about her life career and

struggles it was full of heart wisdom

and southern charm everything people

love about her but Stern took audio

clips from the book and manipulated them

using editing software he rearranged her

words and added new ones using her voice

creating fake statements that made it

sound like Dolly was saying horribly

racist things and bad mouthing other

artists including Linda Ronstat one of

her real life friends to fans who knew

Dolly this was obviously fake but it was

still shocking and upsetting dolly had

spent her entire life being kind to

others and lifting people she never used

hateful language and she certainly

didn’t speak poorly about fellow

musicians to hear her voice twisted into

something so ugly was heartbreaking when

Dolly found out she was devastated she

didn’t just brush it off or make a joke

like she often does she was truly hurt

in a rare moment of public anger she

released a powerful statement she said

she had never felt so shocked hurt and

embarrassed in her entire life dolly

couldn’t believe what Howard Stern had

done to her she added that in a million

years she would never say anything so

rude or inappropriate she believed they

had edited or manipulated her voice in

some way to create something awful and

offensive this wasn’t just a joke to her

it was an attack on her character her

values and everything she stood for she

went on to say “If there was ever going

to be a lawsuit it’s going to be over

this.” That was a big deal dolly rarely

threatened legal action and this showed

just how serious the situation was for

her howard Stern however didn’t seem to

care much about her feelings he brushed

the whole thing off calling it a parody

and claiming it was meant to be funny

not taken seriously “it’s an absurd bit

it’s a parody and it’s funny as hell,”

he said on his show he later added that

he was honored that Dolly even knew who

he was but Dolly’s fans weren’t laughing

many believed Howard Stern had gone too

far joking about celebrities was one

thing but faking hateful words and

making it sound like Dolly said them

felt like a cruel betrayal especially

since Dolly is known for her kindness

and

sincerity still Dolly didn’t take legal

action maybe she didn’t want to keep the

drama going or maybe she didn’t think it

was worth giving Stern more publicity

most likely she chose to take the high

road something she’s known for but even

if she stayed quiet in public it was

clear she didn’t forget what happened

and the idea of her interviewing with

Howard Stern again almost impossible to

Stern the whole thing was just satire

but to Dolly it was personal and deeply

hurtful after that incident in 2008 the

two didn’t speak again dolly never

bashed him publicly she didn’t go on

talk shows to complain instead she let

her fans speak for her still the

incident stayed in people’s minds for

years and it came up anytime someone

mentioned Stern and Dolly in the same

sentence then something no one expected

happened in 2023 Dolly surprised

everyone by appearing on the Howard

Stern show for the first time it had

been 15 years since the scandal and fans

were stunned why did she go she was

promoting her bold new rock album

Rockstar and if there was ever a time to

take a risk and reach new audiences this

was it surprisingly Stern was respectful

during the interview he called her a

legend praised her voice and energy and

kept the sarcasm to a minimum still the

tension was hard to miss it felt clear

that if Dolly hadn’t had something

important to promote she probably

wouldn’t have been there but in true

Dolly fashion she showed her grace

maturity and ability to move forward on

her terms turning an old wound into a

moment of quiet power dolly Parton and

Jeff Tweety i love Dolly Parton all I

know is that she wrote Jolene and I I I

will always love you in the same day and

I think she should have stopped after

Jolene jeff Tweety the lead singer of

the band Wilco caused a stir when he

said some critical things about Dolly

Parton’s songwriting while he admitted

that she’s a big part of music history

and has had a huge impact he didn’t

think her lyrics were very deep he said

her songs were more about catchy tunes

than real meaning and even suggested

that she should have stopped after

writing Jolene though he said he didn’t

dislike her his comments seem to

downplay the heart and effort Dolly puts

into her songs since Tweety is known for

writing emotional and thoughtful music

many people were surprised that he would

be so openly critical of someone like

Dolly dolly didn’t respond publicly but

reports say she wasn’t happy about the

comments her songs come from personal

experiences and emotions and she’s

always taken pride in writing from the

heart so hearing another artist question

her work likely hurt a little still

Dolly didn’t argue back she let her

career and her fans speak for her her

songs have been loved for decades and

have been sung by stars all over the

world no matter what critics say Dolly

Parton’s music has touched millions and

she remains one of the most respected

and beloved figures in music which of

these feuds surprised you the most drop
