Dolly Parton has a great story about the first time she heard Whitney's version. She had given permission to _The Bodyguard_ to use the song but didn't know they had. Whitney's epic version came on the car radio and it took her awhile to realize that it was her song! Dolly tells the whole story wonderfully as you would expect. It's on a KZbin video somewhere.

Dolly song is a farewell to mentor song (it's not about romantic love). Foster (and Houston) took Linda Ronstadt's 1975 arrangement and and just played with the melody line. Dolly had to call to give David the final verse of the song - which Linda didn't included in her recording (when she heard that they were using Lindas' recording as a template). But in the movie the song is used, as a song, about romantic love....so there is a difference.

I've always loved Dolly because my now passed Gramp and Gram played her all the time. Her version came on the radio when I was driving with my dad and I was crying. So beautiful

I first saw Dolly on the Porter Wagoner Show in 1967, I think, when I attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. I was a guitar player from Ft. Lauderdale who loved rock, blues, & Beatles, Stones. Porter didn't do anything for me. But Dolly did and still does. She has always has been a true colossal talent, and a very sweet soul. Thank you Dolly for your wonderful music that has touched so many 💕.

Singers are entertainers. Songwriters are artists. That's why I will always prefer Dolly's versions of her own songs. Doesn't mean you have to, though. Whitney made the song iconic.
