Whitney
Elizabeth Houston (August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012) was an American singer
and actress. She was cited as the most awarded female artist of all time by Guinness
World Records and remains one of the best-selling music artists of all time with
200 million records sold worldwide. Houston released seven studio albums and
two soundtrack albums, all of which have been certified diamond,
multi-platinum, platinum, or gold by the Recording Industry Association of
America(RIAA). Her crossover appeal on the popular music charts—as well as her
prominence on MTV, starting with her video for "How Will I Know"—influenced
several female African-American artists.
Houston began singing in church as a child and became a
background vocalist while in high school. With the
guidance of Arista Records chairman Clive Davis, she signed to the label at the
age of 19. Her first two studio albums, Whitney Houston(1985) and Whitney(1987),
both reached number one on the Billboard 200 in the United States, and to-date
are the biggest-selling first two albums released of any artist in history. To
this day, she is the only artist to have seven consecutive number-one singles
on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, from "Saving All My Love for You"
in 1985 to "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" in 1988.
"I
Will Always Love You" is a song written and originally recorded in 1973 by
American singer-songwriter Dolly Parton. Her country version of the track was
released in 1974 as a single and was written as a farewell to her former
partner and mentor of seven years, Porter Wagoner, following Parton's decision
to leave The Porter Wagoner Show and pursue a solo career.
Parton's version of "I Will Always Love You"
was a commercial success. It reached number one on the Billboard
Hot Country Songs chart twice. It first reached number one in June 1974, and
then in October 1982, with her re-recording on the soundtrack of the movie
version of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Thus, she achieved a number one
position twice with the same song, a rare feat that Chubby Checker had done
previously with "The Twist" becoming number one in 1960 and again in
1962.
Whitney
Houston recorded her version of the song for the 1992 film The Bodyguard. Her
single spent 14 weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and is one
of the best-selling singles of all time. It also holds the record for being the
best-selling single by a woman in music history. Houston's version of "I
Will Always Love You" re-entered the charts in 2012 after her death,
making it the second single ever to reach the top three on the Billboard Hot
100 in separate chart runs. The song has been recorded by many other artists
including Linda Ronstadt, John Doe, Amber Riley, LeAnn Rimes and Sarah
Washington, whose dance version reached number 12 on the UK Singles Chart.
If
I should stay
I
would only be in your way
So
I'll go but I know
I'll
think of you
Every
step of the way
And
I will always love you
I
will always love you
You,
my darling you
Bitter
sweet memories
That
is all I'm taking with me
So
goodbye, please, don't cry
We
both know I'm not what you, you need
And
I will always love you
I
will always love you, oh
I
hope life treats you kind
And
I hope you'll have
All
you've dreamed of
And
I wished you joy
And
happiness
But
above all this, I wish you love
And
I will always love you
I
will always love you
I
will always love you
I will always love you.
