The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album is a soundtrack album from the film of the same name, released on November 17, 1992, by Arista Records. The album's first side (in its original LP and cassette formats) features songs recorded by American singer Whitney Houston, who starred in the film, while side two features the work of various artists. Houston and Clive Davis were co-executive producers of the record.

Houston and Clive Davis served as co-executive producers of the album.[20] Houston planned to record "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted" as the film's theme song; however, when they learned Paul Young's version would be used in the film Fried Green Tomatoes, they searched for another song. Kevin Costner, the film's co-star, thought of recording "I Will Always Love You", originally released by Dolly Parton. While recording the album, Houston insisted on using her touring band as opposed to a studio band.[21]

Of the six songs recorded for the soundtrack by Houston, the first song recorded and produced for the film was "Queen of the Night" on 9 November 1991, prior to commencement of the film's principal photography on 25 November 1991. Followed by both "I Have Nothing" and "Run to You" in tandem on 12 November 1991, also recorded during pre-production stages.

A number of songs were also recorded during active production film production by Houston, in "Jesus Loves Me" between January-February 1992, and the theme song on 22 April 1992 at Ocean Way Recording.[22] Recorded as the last of the six tracks for the soundtrack by Houston, during post-production phases, was the cover of Chaka Khan's, "I'm Every Woman", on 19 August 1992.[23][24][25][26][27][28][29]

The album's first half features six[30] pop songs performed by Houston.[5] Houston's cover of Dolly Parton's plaintive country ballad "I Will Always Love You" is a grand pop-gospel declaration of lasting devotion to a departing lover. "I Have Nothing" and "Run to You" are ballads featuring Houston's characteristic stentorian delivery, and both received Oscar nominations.[31] "Jesus Loves Me" is sung with Bebe Winans and features a pop arrangement.[7]

AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine views that the first half is characterized by urban pop songs similar to I'm Your Baby Tonight (1990), while the second half has miscellaneous tracks more "typical of a big-budget soundtrack", including an excerpt from Alan Silvestri's score, instrumentals by Kenny G, and contemporary pop and dance songs.[3] "Someday (I'm Coming Back)", performed by Lisa Stansfield, is an intense pop-disco song.[7]

The album is most notable for Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You" (written by Dolly Parton). The song received huge airplay, appealing to the pop, R&B, adult contemporary, and soul radio markets. The single spent 14 weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.[32] "I Will Always Love You" was successful worldwide, peaking at number one for 14 weeks in New Zealand, 10 weeks in the UK and Australia, 9 weeks in Norway, 8 weeks in France and Switzerland, 6 weeks in the Netherlands, and 3 weeks in Sweden.[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]

With the next two Top 5 singles[41] "I'm Every Woman" (originally a Chaka Khan hit) and "I Have Nothing", following on the heels of "I Will Always Love You", Houston became the first female act to have three songs in the Top 20 simultaneously.Two songs, "Run to You" and "I Have Nothing", were each nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song,[42] but lost out to "A Whole New World" from the animated film Aladdin. The same two songs were nominated for Grammy Awards in the category Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or for Television. Other songs garnering significant radio airplay included "Jesus Loves Me" on gospel stations, and "Queen of the Night" on pop and dance stations.

David Foster, the hit-maker who has won 16 Grammys, three of which with Whitney Houston, revealed the intricate details of how their collaboration on the ballad, \"I Will Always Love You,\" became the epic anthem of Houston's career.In an interview with \"Nightline\" anchor Cynthia McFadden, the Canadian music producer-songwriter said Houston blew him away when they recorded the song, \"I Will Always Love You,\" in 1992. Her mother Cissy Houston was listening on the sidelines.David Foster reflects on Whitney Houston's iconic ballad, \"I Will Always Love You.\" Credit: ABC News\"It was like 'BOOM,'\" Foster said. \"I was standing right beside Cissy, and she turned to me, and she said, 'I don't know who you are and why you are here or what you are to me, but you are witnessing greatness right here.' And she was right.\" \"I don't think she just meant that her daughter was great. She meant that this was the pinnacle of what she believed what would be her daughter's success and she was right.\"\"I Will Always Love You,\" written and performed by Dolly Parton in the '70s, ended up as a late addition to the score while Foster and Houston were working together on the soundtrack for the 1992 blockbuster, \"The Bodyguard\" -- Houston's first film.PHOTOS: Whitney Houston: Her Iconic CareerFoster said actor Kevin Costner, who produced and co-starred in the film, suggested they use \"I Will Always Love You\" as the signature ballad after the '60s soul hit, \"What Becomes of the Broken-Hearted,\" fell flat with Houston. Foster said at the time he had never heard of \"I Will Always Love You,\" but once he listened to Linda Ronstadt's cover, he said he was \"immediately\" struck with inspiration.I made a demo ... ran to [Houston's] trailer, because I was so excited. I said, 'Whitney, I've got it, I've got it, I've got it,' and I played it for her. And, of course her face lit up because she knew and I knew that I had got it,\" Foster said. When they first started going over the song, Foster said Costner suggested she sing it a capella for the movie, which the music producer scoffed at at the time. \"I thought using no music at the beginning was a stupid idea,\" Foster said. \"And I hate being wrong, but when you're wrong you got to be wrong big because when you're wrong big, it means you get to be right big too and the song certainly ended up being very right.\"Foster and Houston's version of \"I Will Always Love You\" earned the duo three Grammys and was later listed as one of Billboard's \"Greatest Songs of All Time.\" Mere hours after Houston's death on Sunday, the song topped iTunes charts. Foster said he first met Houston at a party thrown for her by famed record producer Clive Davis. She was \"glowing,\" he said, and just 18 at the time. Davis had discovered Houston singing in her mother's nightclub, signed her to Arista Records in 1983 and remained her mentor.\"She probably trusted [Davis] more than anyone else in the world, barring her parents,\" Foster said. \"He was there every step of the way even through the good times and the bad times and he never, never, ever, ever, ever gave up on her.\"While Houston reportedly had a rocky relationship with her other partner in life, ex-husband and R&B singer Bobby Brown, Foster painted a different picture of the couple, at least, as he saw them in the recording studio. \"Bobby and Whitney were a team,\" Foster said. \"He was incredibly supportive of her at all times.\"In more than three decades of producing, Foster has collaborated with other iconic female artists, including Barbara Streisand, Celine Dion, Diana Ross and Natalie Cole, but Houston, he said, was a music \"genius\" in her own right. Their last collaboration together was on Houston's 2009 single, \"I Didn't Know My Own Strength\" -- her last hit released before her death.\"Celine would give me exactly what I asked for, which just thrilled me, as an egotistical record producer. Thank you, Celine,\" Foster said. \"When I would ask Whitney to do that, she would give me something different than I asked for. And 99 percent of the time, it would be something better than what I asked for... that was the genius, part of the genius, of Whitney Houston.\"

"Bodyguard" is a song by the Bee Gees released in 1990 as the second American single from the One album. "Bodyguard" was a cassette-only single released in early 1990. In Europe and Asia, the A-side was "Tokyo Nights" instead of "Bodyguard". In Brazil, it was "Wish You Were Here". Lead vocals are provided by Robin Gibb.

Dolly Parton was listening to her car radio the first time she heard Whitney Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You," a song actor and film producer Kevin Costner insisted she record for the 1992 film, The Bodyguard.

Parton wrote the song while attempting to make a break from her role on Porter Wagoner's syndicated television show. Even though she was determined to move on, Parton especially wanted to convey a message of gratitude in the song.

"It's saying, 'Just because I'm going don't mean I won't love you. I appreciate you and I hope you do great and I appreciate everything you've done, but I'm out of here,'" she explained in the Love Songs interview. "[That's] basically what I was saying. And I took it in the next morning. I said, 'Sit down, Porter. I've written this song, and I want you to hear it.' So I did sing it. And he was crying. He said, 'That's the prettiest song I ever heard. And you can go, providing I get to produce that record.' And he did."

Parton's original recording reached No. 1 on Billboard's country songs chart in 1974. The song topped the chart again in 1982 when she re-recorded it for the film, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.

"Kevin Costner and his secretary are the ones that loved the song," Parton said. "They had another song that was going to go in that place, and someone had recorded the song they were going to use. They were just in a panic at the last minute. And so they asked me about the song. I sent it. I didn't hear anything more."

"I said, 'This is a very important song in this movie.' I didn't care if it was ever on the radio. I didn't care. I said, 'We're also going to do this a cappella at the beginning. I need it to be a cappella because it shows a measure of how much she digs this guy -- that she sings without music.'" 17dc91bb1f
