Songs: Covers that feel like original - Telegraph India
The 1992 version of the song will always be associated with Whitney Houston. “The first time that I heard Whitney’s version of (the song), I just about wrecked my car. I was heading home, and all of a sudden, I had the radio on, and I just heard the a cappella part: ‘If I should stay…’ It kind of got my attention, but it hadn’t registered yet. And I thought, ‘What?’ All of a sudden, she went into the chorus, and I thought, ‘Oh my god! This is I Will Always Love You!”,” Dolly Parton, the original singer of the song, said in an interview some years ago.
