Jan. 30: A&E's "Live by Request" with Vince Gill just finished, and Dolly made a quick stop via satellite to tell Vince how much she loves him and to announce she has a gospel special she is currently filming to air April 1 on TNN. Dolly noted how her duet version of "I Will Always Love You" with Vince (1996 CMA winner for Vocal Collaboration of the Year) was her favorite of the dozens of versions out there, adding that she believed this even though Whitney Houston's smash cover of the song brought her much more money in songwriting royalties. Vince performed the song, sans Dolly (a newcomer named Sonya Isaacs did Dolly's part).
