Whitney Houston – I Will Always Love You (Official 4K Video)

When it comes to the signature work of the global songstress Whitney Houston, it has to be this piece, famous as the theme song for the film The Bodyguard.

It’s actually a cover of a song written by Dolly Parton in 1974, but in Whitney’s hands it was magnificently elevated into a sweeping ballad.

The lyrics portray a deep, self-sacrificing love—choosing to part ways for the sake of the one you love—and they never fail to move me every time I listen.

Released as a single in November 1992, it set what was then a record by holding the No.

1 spot on the U.S.

charts for 14 consecutive weeks.

The soundtrack album, The Bodyguard, also became a historic mega-hit.

When you want to savor your gratitude for someone special, or on a night when you want to fully release your emotions, immerse yourself in her powerful vocals.

Peaking at No.

12 on the Billboard charts, this is a classic you’ll want to play on a quiet night when you’re thinking of someone special.
