Better than Whitney? No fucking way.
Completely different than Whitney? Absolutely and a great song by Dolly.

Whitney’s version is iconic.
Dollys version is a demo tape.A demo tape of that’s raked massive royalties - on Whitney’s airplay.

What song are we talking about here? Whitney Houston?

1950's
Country Western music is one of my least favorite genres. However, I love these three artists and will listen to them any time
Patsy Cline
Hank Williams Sr
Hank Williams Jr
That’s it. It seems like the shelf life of a country western artist is a few years. Randy Travis was da bomb in 1989. Then he disappeared. Travis Tritt was everywhere and he seems gone. It seems like CW acts make the one big record and turn that into some sort of career longevity.

Ah, yellow, you were so close to actually getting it. The sixties ARE and will ALWAYS be the best decade for all music and any singular genre of music. There were several decent songs released in the 70s but it paled in comparison to the prior decade. And, yes, there are more than a few 70s songs on my playlist.

My vote goes to whatever decade that you view King George at the peak of King George
I defaulted to the 90s but you could easily go just as easily to the 80s or 00s …

Peak King George is the 80s, rather easily.

Well @EwaDawg as usual, I'll default to argument by authority here. I've got pretty much every classic rock album from either decade (and many of the jazz, country and R&B/soul ones) in the Yella Snow collection of physical media, and I can make a strong argument either way. I think the period of 1965- 67 was the most ground breaking 2 year in pop history. But the 70s is unique in that you have 2 eras- i.e., peak AOR and the birth of punk/new wave. And the end result of that is you've got so many fucking all time albums in the 70s, the sheer volume of which trumps the 60's.

Yes, Whitney's version is iconic and great, but it's cliche to say it's better than Dolly's OG. I prefer the more subtle, angelic nature of Dolly's Appalachian pipes vs the over the top gospel ones of Whitney. Plus I like the backstory of how she wrote the song.
