This episode of The Greatest Hits Explained takes us back to the early 1990s to discuss one of the most beautiful and most successful songs ever released: I Will Always Love You interpreted by Whitney Houston.

First, we’ll take a look at the political and cultural situation the world was in when the song was released before we focus on the music by discussing the song, its production, success and reception. After that, we’ll get to know the artists / people behind the song (including Dolly Parton who wrote the song, David Foster who arranged the song, Whitney Houston who sang the song and the band members who provided the music for the original song as well as Whitney Hoston's cover version to name a few) and we’ll also explore more of the musical aspects related to “I Will Always Love You”. The grand finale will then be an exploration of the song’s legacy.
