The No 1 album from the No 1 film has given Whitney Houston a huge million selling single with the odd Dolly Parton classic 'I Will Always Love You'. Dolly always used to close her shows with this show stopper (Did you really say that? Ed). The song was twice a big country hit for Dolly. I must admit Whitney's version has grown on me to where I don't know now which I prefer!. This album boasts five tracks by the lovely Whitney Houston, including a stunning five minutes version of 'Jesus Loves Me' with Be Be Winans. (This was featured in the film but re-recorded specially here.) The rest of the album is just background music from the film, some of which is okay, but to sum up, an album which has two outstanding tracks. In fact all the five tracks by the superb Whitney give it an extra square.
