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. Plus iirc the chorus vocal melody is also the same.
Yeah see my edit, I misread the first one. The way it was written kind of made it seem like you were saying Ms&Ps and Phillips’ were two different entities
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.
