The multiple award-winning music legends rearranged this song into a soul ballad together with a sax performance by Kirk Whalum. The American singer Whitney Houston 1992 recorded and released a very unique version of the song “I will always love you” in her “The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album”. RECOMMENDED: Mariah Carey Always Be My Babyĭolly Parton released the country and first version in 1974, she did so well with this song thereby attracting lots of accolades to her however, it can’t be compared with the excellent work Whitney Houston did. Apparently, because I grew up on a diet of Whitney Houston, I never developed any sense of camp.The inspiration for this song came as a result of Dolly Parton’s mentor and colleaguePorter Wagoner leaving their team to pursue his solo career. But-true confession-I don’t see “The Greatest Love of All” as over the top. You might also say that a song like “The Greatest Love of All” is so ridiculously over the top that the woman who sang it would inevitably come to a bad end.

The cost of success at that level carries its own poison.

This is why successful artists, the ones who make it to the highest levels, so often flame out. Only deeply imbalanced people allow themselves to get obsessed with performance and production and the rest of it. Normal, happy people cannily clock the amount of effort involved in these undertakings, and then they shrug and go back to doing things that make them happy. The sheer fact that Whitney had put in the work to become great indicated that she was probably not a normal, happy person. But I wasn’t shocked, not for a moment–not at the fact she’d married a sleazy, abusive D-lister, or that she’d developed a problem with drugs. Later-along with everyone else-I watched Houston’s life begin to unravel, a phenomenon that was unavoidably clear by the time of her 2005 participation on the reality show Being Bobby Brown, notable for its vulgarity even by the, uh, “standards” of the genre. (To this day, I can recall the look I gave myself when I realized my own voice stunk.) Becoming great or even good, I realized, must take some doing. I knew this as soon as I tried to hit the same notes, crooning into a hairbrush in my parents’ bathroom while standing on the rim of the bathtub so I could see myself in the mirror. Whitney had labored intensely to work her talent up to that high point. Close your eyes and recall the first time you heard “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.” Remember how it sounded, like a case study in sprezzatura? How that voice was so strong and exuberant it blasted out a sense of possibility like a Care Bear Stare? I will always love her for it.īut chances are, Houston helped to shape your consciousness too. She did all this for me by the time I was the age of 6, all via pop songs on terrestrial radio. She was my first realization that, by making art, I too could project myself through time and space, albeit on a far more modest scale. She was my first: my first taste of art and my first sense that simply by listening to a song I could be in the presence of something. For me, Whitney Houston’s life and work is a sort of Rosetta Stone by which I can decode all my most closely held views. Call it “The Houston Question.”Īll right, maybe I’m just speaking of myself. Still, pretty much everything you need to know about the generation of women born between 19 can be explained by the fact that the person who helped introduce us to the concepts of personal dignity and self acceptance through “The Greatest Love of All” died of drug addiction in a bathtub. Here’s the interesting thing: A very similar thing did happen to American women-only there’s been no outcry, no collective gasp, and I don’t understand why. Nearly every man you know would be instantly bereft, as if he’d suddenly realized his childhood contained a hideous lie. If, tomorrow, he went on CNN-or just recorded a video and posted it to YouTube-denouncing democracy, capitalism and New Jersey, pledging his allegiance to Kim Jong-un, and saying, “Later, losers.” What if The Boss just peaced out to Pyongyang? What would happen? A whole generation of American men would lose their shit, that’s what. Imagine if Bruce Springsteen defected to North Korea.
