A 1973 Dolly Parton country ballad transformed in 1992 into a worldwide pop hit by Whitney Houston for the film "The Bodyguard."
Original Composition
I Will Always Love You was written by Dolly Parton in 1973 as a farewell to her business partner Porter Wagoner. Her version reached number one on the U.S. country chart in 1974 and again in 1982.
Whitney Houston Recording
Houston recorded the song for the 1992 film “The Bodyguard,” with producer David Foster arranging an a cappella opening leading into a full-band ballad. The closing key change became one of the song’s defining moments.
Reception
Houston’s version reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and held the position for fourteen weeks, then a record. The single topped charts in over twenty countries and won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year.
