Channel 5 tonight, Dolly Parton: The Queen of Country shows all the stories behind many of the star's biggest hit songs, including how she came to write I Will Always Love You, 9 to 5, Jolene and Coat of Many Colours, as well as a look at her movie career with films such as Steel Magnolias and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
