Elvis Presley will always be remembered not only for being an exceptional musician but also as a hopeless romantic. So, 46 years after his death, a curious anecdote related to his divorce from Priscilla Presley has come to light.
The story was recently revealed by singer Dolly Parton while giving an interview on BBC Radio. The country icon claimed that her hit song “I Will Always Love You,” released in 1974, was present in one of the couple’s most difficult moments, their separation.
Although it would seem contradictory, amid their painful separation, ‘The King’ never left aside his love for Priscilla, whom he always considered the true love of his life.
