“I was brought to tears again last night, as I’m sure many were, when Jennifer Hudson sang ‘I Will Always Love You’ on the Grammys in memory of Whitney. Like everybody else, I am still in shock. But I know that Whitney will live forever in all the great music that she left behind. I will always have a very special piece of her in the song we shared together and had the good fortune to share with the world. Rest in peace, Whitney. Again, we will always love you.”
Houston took Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” to the top of the pop charts in 1992. 18 years earlier it was a No. 1 country hit for Parton. Houston’s version was on the Grammy-winning soundtrack to her movie, ‘The Bodyguard,’ starring Kevin Costner.
