Elvis Presley married just once to Priscilla Presley from 1967 to 1973, the mother of his only child, Lisa Marie. After splitting in 1972, the couple actually ended up having quite the amicable divorce, which was finalised a year later. In fact, the King even sang a hit Dolly Parton love song to Priscilla as they left the divorce courtroom.
Dolly Parton, who died aged 80 last week, previously shared that Priscilla once told her the story. It turns out the song Elvis sang to his soon-to-be ex-wife was I Will Always Love You, which Whitney Houston released as a hit cover in 1992. The lyrics seem quite fitting for a couple breaking up, with a commitment to continuing to love each other. They open: “If I should stay/I would only be in your way/And so I’ll go, but I know/I’ll think of you each step of the way. And I will always love you/I will always love you.”
