I know.. They are both the same song.. but so different. And you can tell that Dolly was the writer. There is an authenticity in Dolly's voice. Dolly was singing it to a friend... (Or Ed Earl in the movie.) Whitney was singing it for another reason, which gives the listener a different meaning. Whitney was singing it as a love song.. They both hit SOOO differently.. but deeply!!

Dolly's is better,Whitney could not be doing that song today ,if she were still alive,it would be out of her range now,she struggled with it in 1999,imagine 21 years later, no way ,she set the bar so high vocally,that no one could be doing it in their late 50's ,early 60's,much like Steve Perry of Journey did,he vocally speaking,set the bar so high ,its impossible to sing in that register when you hit your 60's ,or older, he's 71,but its OK ,his legendary status remains just like Whitneys,

When Whitney sang this song, you could feel it resonate in your bones. With Dolly, it resonates with your heart.

Dolly Parton has a great story about the first time she heard Whitney's version. She had given permission to _The Bodyguard_ to use the song but didn't know they had. Whitney's epic version came on the car radio and it took her awhile to realize that it was her song! Dolly tells the whole story wonderfully as you would expect. It's on a KZread video somewhere.

Dolly song is a farewell to mentor song (it's not about romantic love). Foster (and Houston) took Linda Ronstadt's 1975 arrangement and and just played with the melody line. Dolly had to call to give David the final verse of the song - which Linda didn't included in her recording (when she heard that they were using Lindas' recording as a template). But in the movie the song is used, as a song, about romantic love....so there is a difference.

I believe the person who writes the song always sings it best because they are the one's who feel an emotional connection to that song. Whitney sang it well, but it doesn't come close to Dolly.

dollys version is humble and soothing whitneys version stays having me in my feelings lol they are both talented and beautiful !!

This is one of the most beautiful love songs ever written..

Kudos my role model ! You took the right decision Dolly, not everyone have the opportunity in finding there purpose in life,you are a woman that knows what you want,load's of Dolly.

Singers are entertainers. Songwriters are artists. That's why I will always prefer Dolly's versions of her own songs. Doesn't mean you have to, though. Whitney made the song iconic.

Dolly Forever! She is my all time favorite. I've been to Dollywood many times. I was VERY lucky that one of the times I went, she was there! She has apartment over a theme store there. She came out and talked and sang. I was right up front! I saw her up close! She is absolutely stunning!!

Two of the most talented female artists of all time. The rendition of Whitney's will always be legendary. The writing of Dolly, plus the composition of David Foster plus the voice of Whitney Houston = epic. It's amazing how a song like this and Jolene can be sang in so many different ways. They are both very simple songs lyrically but have lasted so many years. That's the mark of truly talented songwriting.

volcrazy89- you obviously don't know how the Foster and Houston recording came about. They basically stoled Linda Ronstadt's arrangement, they just played with the melody line. David Foster went into Long Beach to get a copy of Dolly's recording - the record store only had Linda Ronstadt's (from Prisoner In Disguise - 1975). David said when he heard it - he knew immediately what they could do with the song. When Dolly found out that they were using Linda's version as a template for their, she called David to give him the final verse which Linda hadn't used in her recording.

Meu Deus. Que mulher maravilhosa. Que voz ... Que música linda ... ❤❤❤

I can't believe I shed tears listening to her singing this song, and at the same time thinking of my late dad and my late mother-in-law who just passed on. God bless your soul Dolly

Makes me cry. So much emotion in this song and her voice. Thank you Dolly.

I'm a hip hop guy but I so appreciate Miss Dolly for giving us this smash hit!!

I've always loved Dolly because my now passed Gramp and Gram played her all the time. Her version came on the radio when I was driving with my dad and I was crying. So beautiful

I love how she always keep the essence of her song

I must have heard her do this a million times-- but this is by far the most intimate, tear-jerking version EVER... LOVE you Miss Dolly... :)

I was so enchanted by the performance that it took me a moment to realize I was holding my breath. Dolly is such a storyteller.

I love you Dolly even I am 71 years old this song is so beautiful and amazing❤❤❤❤❤

The writer of this brilliant song, the sweetest version with her wonderful voice. Love this so much xxx So sad that the brilliance of Whitney singing this is that we lost her xxx

Hello Christine ..

This is one of the most beautiful singing at all times, beautiful voice and beautiful song, she wowed.

The song, "I Will Always Love You" was originally written and 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 one-time partner and mentor of seven years, Porter Wagoner, following Parton's decision to pursue a solo career

John Palmer Well, Mr Music, so many folks in the Country Music world are upset that Whitney gets all the credit and some people don't know that Dolly composed this song. Dolly brings a tender pathos to it. Whitney with her once magnificent voice before the drugs and her life with Bobby destroyed it, adorned it with operatic pyrotechnics. As I had said to Nu, each woman brings her specialty to the table. I like both versions, but I wanted Dolly Parton to receive her due as the originator of the song.

@johnpalmer1005

Terry Westbrook-Lienert I totally agree. Whitney's version was so huge that it has almost completely left the original largely forgotten. The percentage of the population of music lovers that even know that this was a Dolly Parton gem long before Whitney is probably fractional at best. Thank you for doing your part to remind everyone of the beautiful original as well as the beautiful re-imagining of the second incarnation of this tune.

Dollys voice is so pure and humbling. The guitar playing was beautiful.

She's so humble. She leaves out about 2/3 of the story, because it doesn't really make Porter Wagner seem like a decent person and it shows that Dolly is a much, much better person than the vast majority of us because she is so unbelievably forgiving and loyal even when the person hasn't deserved it.

Have you ever thought what the world do without the songs of the 60's? Just a beautiful song I think everyone can relate to this song.

This song tears my heart out. I can't hear it... without breaking down into tears. Anyone who has ever loved a woman in an impossible situation will identify with every word of this song. Thank you Dolly for setting some of the most painful moments of my life to words and music.

I first saw Dolly on the Porter Wagoner Show in 1967, I think, when I attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. I was a guitar player from Ft. Lauderdale who loved rock, blues, & Beatles, Stones. Porter didn't do anything for me. But Dolly did and still does. She has always has been a true colossal talent, and a very sweet soul. Thank you Dolly for your wonderful music that has touched so many 💕.

Such sweet song. Say whatever you want but a song sang by the original artist is always more emotional than a better vocalist covering it.
