Aunt Malvernia's Chain

 


During an interview on the Bobby Jones Show in 2018, Dolly Parton revealed she’d written two of her most famous songs: “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You” on the same day. “I Will Always Love You” was a farewell to her business partner when Dolly chose to purse a solo career, but it’s considered Whitney Houston’s signature song. The Rolling Stone listed “Jolene” as #217 on the magazine’s “500 Greatest Songs of All Time.” Freddie Mercury claimed he composed “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” in “five or ten minutes,” WHILE HE WAS TAKING A BATH. Freddie wrote the song as a tribute to Elvis Presley. “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” became the first US hit for Queen, topping the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks, before it was displaced by Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall.” These 150 words are (so far) all I’ve managed to write today.
