<P> When Parton re-recorded the song in 1982 for the soundtrack of the film The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, the track was issued as a single and once again charted at number one on Hot Country Songs--making her the first artist ever to earn a number one record twice with the same song . After recording a duet with Vince Gill in 1995, "I Will Always Love You" re-entered the Billboard chart and peaked at number 15 . Another duet version of the song was released in 2017 with Michael Bolton from his album Songs of Cinema . </P> <P> When the 1974 recording of the song was reaching number one on the country charts, Elvis Presley indicated that he wanted to cover the song . Parton was interested until Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, told her that it was standard procedure for the songwriter to sign over half of the publishing rights to any song Elvis recorded . Parton refused . She recalls: </P> <P> I said,' I'm really sorry,' and I cried all night . I mean, it was like the worst thing . You know, it's like, Oh, my God...Elvis Presley .' And other people were saying,' You're nuts . It's Elvis Presley .'...I said,' I can't do that . Something in my heart says,' Don't do that . And I just didn't do it...He would have killed it . But anyway, so he didn't . Then when Whitney (Houston's version) came out, I made enough money to buy Graceland . </P> <P> In Curtis W. Ellison's book Country Music Culture: From Hard Times to Heaven (1995), he stated: "In the early 1990s, when ambiguity in romantic relationships accompanies changing expectations for both men and women, this song demonstrates Dolly Parton's appeal as a songwriter in the pop music market ." Ken Knight, author of The Midnight Show: Late Night Cable - TV "Guy - Flicks" of the' 80s (2008), commented that Parton is the only singer who can sing "I Will Always Love You" and "make it memorable". Writer Paul Simpson criticized the singer, stating that the track was only written to "soften the blow" of Parton and Wagoner's split . </P>
