Country superstar Taylor Swift was only a young girl when Whitney Houston's cover of Dolly Parton's'I Will Always Love You' hit the radio soundwaves. At that young age, Swift couldn't have imagined that almost two decades later, she'd help pay tribute to the legendary (and now late) Houston.

Talent is talent. It doesn't matter how you catergorize music and performers, there are a few singers that exude talent in a way others can't. There is no denying Whitney Houston was one of the most talented singers to ever grace a stage. We at KIXS 108, along with all of country music, are saddened by her passing.

Dolly Parton and the late Whitney Houston are forever connected through one very specific hit ballad. Houston’s version of ‘I Will Always Love You’ — which Parton wrote and first released in 1974 — was a massive hit for Houston in 1992 as part of ‘The Bodyguard’ soundtrack.
