She said: “I never got him! But I love Mick Jagger no matter what. I’ll still be runnin’ after him all through the years, because I’ve always had a crush on [him].”
The country legend revealed that the reason Jagger did not want to collaborate for this specific release was due to her song choice.
She revealed: “I wanted him to sing on (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction, but he wanted something new and different, which I don’t blame him for.”
Photographer Allan Tannenbaum has claimed to have witnessed the pair’s first meeting back on 14 May 1977 and photographed them together showing different emotions about the moment.
He told the Daily Mirror: “My guess is it was his first meeting with Dolly because it wasn’t like he was saying, ‘How are you doing?’”

Commenting on the photograph, the photographer added: “He’s smiling this very sheepish grin and she’s totally beaming ear to ear.”
Parton has been married to Carl Dean since 1966, with the couple celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary in 2016 with a renewal of their vows.
