Dolly Parton, who died at 80 on Tuesday after a battle with cancer, leaves a major legacy in country music and beyond. She placed more than 100 tracks on the country chart and sold nearly 30 million albums and singles in the U.S., according to the RIAA. Parton also became known for protecting her songwriting ownership. When Elvis Presley wanted to record her 1974 hit "I Will Always Love You," she rejected the deal after learning he sought half the songwriting profits despite having no role in composing it. Her insistence on retaining ownership distinguished her in an industry where many performers signed away those rights, while her successful move from Nashville to pop helped establish a path later followed by Taylor Swift.
