Excerpt from the Channel 5 documentary about Dolly Parton with the first TV performance of one of her finest songs "I will only love you" including explanatory subtitles.

Not only does Dolly sing and interpret this lovely song marvellously, she also composed both the words and the music. As my background is in classical singing and opera, I find most popular music, with its interminable drumming and ghetto blasting volume, dreary, monotonous and depressing. But Dolly's music is different. She is an instinctive, composing genius, with a sweet voice and confident singing technique, and blessed with rare interpretative insight. This song in particular is worthy to be ranked with the best classics of Schubert, Berlioz, Bizet, Verdi et al.
