Chris Cornell covering Whitney Houston's "I will always love you"

Chris Cornell covering Whitney Houston's "I will always love you" at the Calvin Theater in Northampton, MA on 11/17/13

[@Richycito]

I was bowling the World Candlepin Championships in Halifax, Nova Scotia, when I found out Chris was playing 10 minutes away from my hometown of Easthampton. Probably deserved a speeding ticket or two getting to the show on time! What a treat. The crowd was in awe. No one out of line. Soaked it in. Bhi Bhiman also fantastic. A day I’ll never forget. Thanks, Chris.

[@marcolubbers7555]

Some say it's Dolly's version, some say it's Whitney's version. This is Chris his version! And i love it!

[@tedesco455]

Dolly wrote the song, there is no other version.

[@julianbud7334]

@@tedesco455 oh shut the fuck up Chris and Whitney Houston both Sang it way better anyways just because she wrote it doesn't mean she made it into a big hit that was Whitney Houston that did that sorry not sorry and Chris killed this shit I don't give two shits and a motherfuck about who wrote it

[@586Umesh]

It's a cover!

[@cjzmom74]

Wow, i wouldn't have believed it if i didn't see it myself. That man could sing anything, and make it his own. RIP CHRIS

[@R20set]

He is actually covering Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You". Houston's was just a cover as well.

[@wendyenfield8890]

Thank you, everyone forgets that Dolly is the one who wrote this song.

[@wendyenfield8890]

So true!

[@oliviamaes6278]

Yes, but he started playing it live right after Whitney died.

[@chimierc5920]

He's doing the WHITNEY version, though. So yes, he's singing WHITNEY's I Will Always Love You.

I would love to hear a studio version of this song. I hate the drunks in the background.

[@stujam29]

Deb Salzer be grateful someone who paid to be at that place was kind enough to share their moments with others. "drunk people" are just enjoying their moment.

[@debsalzer2356]

I hear you, stu, but why in the world do they pay to get in a show, and then get too drunk to enjoy it?

[@xzysyndrome]

Sounds like they are enjoying it muchly...

[@jamesdunn2840]

he's so amazing. I love Dolly, and will always love Whitney so much. he's just so great. I'm a pretty decent vocalist and most people just don't know how much talent this song takes. I can't really sing it at all. don't even try!!! but the drunks in the background Baby that's who he's there for. they are feeling it with him n letting him know how much they enjoy n respect his game!

A Dolly Parton song, written for Elvis, recorded by an amazing vocalist ... covered by a legend.

[@owenmartin1509]

BTW, not a huge Soundgarden fan. Grew up in Tacoma, and we had all the Seattle Grunge scene rammed down our throats in the 90's. There were great bands, but Soundgarden is like 5th to me. Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, MLB/Malfunkshin, Seaweed, then Soundgarden, Screaming Trees, hell ... Tad? Then some guy at the Bowling Alley with the good video games and then I guess Nirvana. Ugh, Nirvana. Mix-A-Lot then Nirvana.

[@julianbud7334]

And this is Chris Cornell's version a man killing this fucking song I don't care who wrote it and Whitney Houston's version is the most famous version of the song

[@WoodwardLongfellow]

the greatest male vocalist of all time could turn any song into his own & wrote some absolute classic songs from my childhood now 50 years young still yet to have found better more spiritual music than this man performed

[@KristiEnigl]

Let's give SONGWRITERS the credit they deserve. They get paid via royalties for writing the song, and it's not much. Dolly wrote this song, and Chris is covering her version. Let's be correct on comments, please. Chris wrote over 300 hundred songs, so he should be credited as the songwriter on his songs, no matter who's is covering them (a Performance). Songwriters deserve credit, too. And I'm not taking anything away from the mighty Chris Cornell, he is my favorite of all time. xo

No, he sang Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You". He understood the humility that song, that Ms Paton wrote and performed, required. His is the only cover worth a damn.
