In the 1970s, Dolly and Elvis were “set up” by their management in the hope that he would cover her 1974 hit ballad, ‘I Will Always Love You’.
“Management hoped there would be chemistry, in the only way there can be chemistry when two huge talents like Dolly and Elvis are in the same room,” says a source. “It would have been an iconic coupling.

Their duet was sadly never to happen, thanks to Elvis’ manager, Colonel Tom Parker, who’s being played by Tom Hanks in a new biopic.
