A Young Lady Honors Whitney Houston With A Breathtaking Cover Of “I Will Always Love You”

Originally written and sung by Dolly Parton in 1973, “I Will Always Love You” initially served as a farewell to Parton’s mentor, Porter Wagoner.

With her heartfelt lyrics and tender delivery, Dolly captured the hearts of country music lovers, marking the song’s first journey to fame.

However, it wasn’t until Whitney Houston’s rendition for the soundtrack of “The Bodyguard” in 1992 that the song soared to global acclaim.

Whitney’s version lifted the song to new levels, turning it into a moving ballad of love and sadness. Her unforgettable performance enchanted listeners around the world, securing the song’s lasting place in music history.
