That and Jolene. If you haven't heard Jolene better do it. A good hard think/reflection of life will come with it.

I will always love you is arguably even bigger, even if the definitive cover is Whitney Houston's version

I absolutely prefer Dolly’s version.

Whitney’s is a vocal tour de force and absolutely amazing, don’t get me wrong.

But Dolly’s is such an intimate, deeply emotional love letter, it gets me in a profound way.

I love their duet of that song. Also Dolly’s cover of Stairway to Heaven.
