Dolly said no to Elvis re-recording "I Will Always Love You" because he wanted half the royalties... you don't put Dolly on some hard shit, Dolly puts YOU on some hard shit

Actually, it was his manager and he wanted half of the publishing rights, "The 75-year-old shares that she met up with Presley's manager, who asked for half of Parton's publishing rights for "I Will Always Love You" in exchange for the late singer to record the song."

Dolly's used the phrase "I don't lose my temper, but I might use my temper." I can imagine with all her busy businesses and people only seeing the hair, makeup and boobs she's had an occasional meeting with a huckster that's needed her temper.

It was the publishing rights. His manager wanted Dolly to give up the publishing rights. Which are key to making money from songwriting. But yeah, Dolly is a badass and anyone who thinks otherwise hasn’t been paying attention

The hardest Dolly will ever get is the Islands in the Stream sample showing up on Ghetto Supastar. End of story. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
