Dolly Parton says Elvis Presley’s manager wanted half the publishing rights to “I Will Always Love You.”
She kept the rights, even though it meant passing up an Elvis recording.

The song began as a farewell to Porter Wagoner, became a country hit in 1974, and reached a new audience through Whitney Houston in 1992. Here’s why Parton’s decision mattered.

Would you have made the same choice? Let us know in the comments.

This is music history, not financial advice.
