It's tough but sweet.

Lily Goldberg, who was writing for Pitchfork shortly after Dolly's death, said, "Watching Dolly perform I Will Always Love You on the Porter Wagner Show in 1974 can induce an itchy feeling, like the minutes before school lets out for summer vacation.

See Dolly's jittery hands at the end of the video, fretting with her sleeves, smoothing out the sequins on her dress, clasping and unclasping her fingers, and recall the simile she used in her 1977 song, Light of a Clear Blue Morning, to describe herself during that period, 'like a captured eagle.'" It is now part of Dolly Parton lore and legend that Dolly wrote I Will Always Love You and Jolene on the same day, which is a pretty damn good day at the office.

Jolene was inspired by a bank employee who had captured the attention of Dolly's husband, Carl Dean.
