Everyone was really sad last night at the Grammies, just one day after Whitney Houston died, because she was such a special talent and impossible to replace. So to make everyone feel better, Jennifer Hudson sang Whitney’s big hit, “I Will Always Love You”.
That of course is a song that Dolly Parton wrote in 1973, and Hudson sang it every bit as good as she did, so it turns out Whitney is not that special and can be replaced on about 24 hours notice. Whew, what a relief!
Writer's cred$ are a good thing to have. She had a #1, had a #1 again when it was used in this movie, and then came The Bodyguard. (And ka-ching when it played on the jukebox in that movie as well.)
