Dolly Parton is a legend for her singing, but she’s just as incredible as a songwriter. Over the years, she’s written tons of hits that were first recorded by other artists or covered later by famous stars, so many people don’t even realize she wrote them. From classic country to Broadway tunes, here’s a list of songs few people know it was actually Dolly who wrote.
