A recent country poll recognizes Dolly Parton's love song. In a genre known
for professional songwriters and unoriginal performers, Dolly is truly a
talented and original American artist.

Topping the 100 greatest love songs is Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love
You," a song she took to No. 1 on the country chart in 1974. The tune got a
rebirth 18 years later when Whitney Houston made it a No. 1 pop hit and it
was featured in the movie "The Bodyguard."
Rounding out the top 12 love songs: Willie Nelson's "You Were Always On My
Mind"; Patsy Cline's "Sweet Dreams"; Randy Travis' "Forever and Ever, Amen";
Conway Twitty's "Hello Darlin'"; Garth Brooks' "Unanswered Prayers";
Lonestar's "Amazed"; Kenny Rogers' "She Believes in Me"; George Strait's "I
Cross My Heart"; George Jones and Tammy Wynette's "Golden Ring"; Merle
Haggard's "That's The Way Love Goes"; and "When You Say Nothing At All," a
hit for Keith Whitley and later Alison Krauss & Union Station.
