I think this was her third soundtrack in a row (Bodyguard > Exhale > Preacher's Wife). I felt like Exhale she leaned more into soul/gospel and here it's pretty fully-on gospel. I think ppl forget how much genre range Whitney covers in her discography.

I agree! I was on study abroad in Italy when this was out & my family kept telling me how 'I Will Always Love You' was playing ad nauseam back in the US. I didn't get it - for me, THIS track was everything!

From the Archdiocese that brought you Protecting Pedophile Priests.

This song has oft been derided/maligned ( thinking of Cordelia attempting to sing it in the Buffy talent show ep with the puppet). And yet, I still love it.

I mean… is there another version? Haha

SUCH a good song!

Oooh good pick!
