Some may say that this should be below the line but Dolly played the part so I leave that to the clones.

Long before it was done by others, Dolly singing I Will Always Love You. Great movie and songs. Nobody does the song better than Dolly, imo.

RIP to the woman who inspired it.

Anyone interested in this should read Larry L. King's book, "The Whorehouse Papers," about the making of the the musical, "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas."

They not only paid Miss Edna for the rights to her story but also cast her in the show (as the old madam, Miss Wulla Jean.)

In Mr. King's account, she is a pistol...
