* CoveredUp: Houston's rendition of "I Will Always Love You" is so overwhelmingly popular that most don't even know it had existed as a Music/DollyParton hit for some 18 years (having hit number one on the Top 100 twice). Even fewer know that the song was originally a slow acoustic ballad, and not a window-shattering diva number. ''Still'' fewer know that the song is actually about the end of her professional relationship with Porter Waggoner; they had been starring on a music TV show together and she wanted to go solo.
