Dolly Parton 'cried all night' when she turned down Elvis Presley in early 1970s

Dolly Parton recalled "crying all night" after rejecting Elvis Presley in early 1970s after he requested to cover her song I Will Always Love You.

The Jolene hitmaker, 77, was approached by the King of Rock's team who said Elvis wanted to record a version – young Dolly was understandably delighted.

She recalled being "so excited" and telling all her friends before she was told that Elvis even wanted her to come to the studio so he could meet her.
