It’s really hard to say or to know for sure what all you owe somebody for your success. But I can tell you for sure that I owe Uncle Billy an awful lot, she wrote, adding that he was so many things, loved music and that they wrote several songs together over the years. The biggest one being Put It Off Until Tomorrow. We won our first big award on that one back in 1966. It was the BMI Song of the Year, Parton shared. The country superstar went on to share some of her uncle s accolades and called him funny, friendly and generous. He always had a kind word for everybody and gave good advice to young people starting in the business, she noted.
