I Will Aways Love You
This just seems like an appropriate post for Valentines Day,
Dolly Parton sings "I Will Always Love You" to Porter Wagoner in 2007, just a couple months before he died. Dolly wrote this about Wagoner in 1973 when she decided to leave his television show, and strike out on her own—a move that upset Wagoner a great deal. Eventually he forgave her, and this became one of the most successful songs of all time.
Somewhat presciently, I wrote this post on Friday night. I considered including a video of Whitney Houston's version at the time, but decided to just go with Dolly's version. Houston's recording of the song really made it the success that it has become, and given her death on Saturday I don't think I can post this without including one of her performances. So the second video is Houston's performance of the song.
