The Answer: Who Really Owns “I Will Always Love You”?

If you chose B — Dolly Parton, you got it right! 🎉

Many people associate “I Will Always Love You” with Whitney Houston because of her unforgettable 1992 version from The Bodyguard. Her powerful performance turned the song into a worldwide phenomenon and one of the most iconic love ballads of all time.

But here’s the surprise: Whitney Houston was not the original creator of the song.

🎤 Dolly Parton wrote and originally recorded “I Will Always Love You” in 1973, releasing it in 1974. She wrote the song as a heartfelt farewell to her longtime musical partner and mentor, Porter Wagoner, after deciding to pursue her own career.

Nearly two decades later, Whitney Houston recorded her own version for The Bodyguard soundtrack in 1992. Her dramatic, soulful interpretation introduced the song to a massive new audience and became the version most people recognize today.

So the correct answer is:

B — DOLLY PARTON

Dolly Parton wrote the original. Whitney Houston made her version legendary.

Did you get it right, or did Whitney Houston fool you? 😄
