The song was originally written and performed by Dolly Parton in 1974. She wrote it for her mentor and partner Porter Wagoner after leaving their band.

True, the thing is that Barry McGuire wasn’t.
Sampling is when one takes a ‘sample’ from another composition, not the whole thing. Pray tell how many hiphop tracks have an entire other song as the instrumental.
Yeah see my edit, I misread the first one.
TBF I didn’t pay attention to whether the Phillipses were in the band, since it was common for someone outside to write songs back then.
