Contents 1 Album versions 2 Single version 3 Milestones 4 Television 5 References Album versions Composed in the early 1970s ( the song 's copyright lists a 1973 date ), Parton first recorded it as a duet with Chet Atkins, for Atkins ' 1976 album The Best of Chet Atkins & Friends. The solo recording would become one of three tracks from Heartbreak Express to enter the top 10 in the country music singles chart. `` The Best of Chet Atkins & Friends '' was published by RCA Victor under the catalogue number APL1 - 1985. Heartbreak Express was published by RCA Victor under the catalogue number RCALP 3076. Single version Beginning in the 1970s, RCA acknowledged Parton 's twin appeal to pop - and country music audiences by packaging a number of her singles as double A-sides -- pairing a mainstream commercial hit with a more traditional country number of roughly equal chart potential, with the A side released to pop radio, and the B side targeted toward country. Following this formula, RCA paired `` Do I Ever Cross Your Mind '' with another re-recorded single -- `` I Will Always Love You '', from the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas soundtrack album -- previously released on Parton 's 1974 album Jolene. Released on July 31, 1982, the double - A side was well - received -- `` Do I Ever Cross Your Mind '' peaked at # 1 on the country singles chart in August, followed by `` I Will Always Love You '', which became the Billboard Hot Country Singles number - one single for a second time on October 16, 1982. Milestones Thanks to a double - A side of previously recorded singles, Dolly Parton became the first artist ever to earn a number one record twice with the same song as a singer ( three times as a writer, following Whitney Houston 's 1992 cover of `` I Will Always Love You '' for the 1992 film The Bodyguard ). Television `` Do I Ever Cross Your Mind '' was performed by American Idol ( Season 7 ) finalist Ramiele Malubay in 2008. She sang the song during the Dolly Parton tribute week. A studio version of her cover was released on the iTunes Store as `` Do I Ever Cross Your Mind ( American Idol Studio Version ) - Single '' in 2008. The duet version plays over the closing credits of `` Women and God '' -- the third episode of the BBC comedy Bob Servant, Independent. The episode first aired February 6, 2013 on BBC Four.
