Sorry, but I have to disagree on this one. Dolly's version was sweet. I found Whitney's to be over the top with bombast. But I typically like both of them a lot (even though I'm no country music fan)

It's fun thinking about all these songs and time periods!

NP but no way can Dolly even hold a candle to Whitney’s version. Dolly even admits it!

I also prefer Dolly's version over Whitney's. Agree with the PP about the bombast. Just too much.

Thanks to the Wonder Years, this song induces nostalgia even in those of us who weren’t around for this or the original Beatles version.

Old Flames Can’t Hold a Candle to You (but it’s with Dolly!)
