Dolly Parton Missed Song of the Year Nod Because of Grammy Eligibility Rules
TL;DR Summary
Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” was not eligible for Song of the Year at the Grammys due to the academy’s historical rule that already-famous songs cannot win that category; Whitney Houston won in other categories in 1994, while Parton’s song was effectively blocked by the rule changes, which have since evolved.
