Five songs you didn’t know country music icon Dolly Parton wrote

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleCountry music legend Dolly Parton died at age 80. The icon estimated she wrote nearly 3,000 songs over her seven-decade career, and recorded 450 of them. While Parton performed many of her own hits, legendary artists such as Merle Haggard, Hank Williams Jr., and Kenny Rogers have also recorded songs written by the 10-time Grammy winner. "Put It Off Until Tomorrow," Bill Phillips. Before Parton became a household name for her own music, she wrote for other artists. In January 1966, Bill Phillips released one of the songs she penned, "Put It Off Until Tomorrow," on which she provided backing vocals."I Will Always Love You," Whitney Houston. Long before Whitney Houston broke countless records with her rendition of "I Will Always Love You," Parton wrote and released the song as a letter to Porter Wagoner. While Parton's recording reached No. 1 twice, Houston's 1992 version from The Bodyguard took the world by storm."I'm In No Condition," Hank Williams Jr. Like many of Parton's songs that were recorded by someone else, the singer still included her own version of "I'm In No Condition" on her 1967 album Hello, I'm Dolly. "Kentucky Gambler," Merle Haggard. A year before he wrote "Always Wanting You" for Dolly, Haggard recorded "Kentucky Gambler" in September 1974 at Nashville's Columbia Studios while Parton provided harmony."There'll Always Be Music," Tina Turner. Two years after Tina Turner and then-husband Ike Turner got the world dancing with their iconic hit "Proud Mary," Tina kicked off her solo career by dabbling in country music. Although the album didn't chart, it earned Turner a Grammy nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.
