Dolly Parton Wrote "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You" on the Same Day

Dolly Parton has revealed that "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You," two of her most iconic songs, were written on the same day — or at least within a few remarkably productive days. Both tracks became country classics, with "I Will Always Love You" later achieving global fame through Whitney Houston's cover version. Parton described it as one particularly "good writing day."
