"I Will Always Love You," written and performed by Dolly Parton in the '70s, ended up as a late addition to the score while Foster and Houston were working together on the soundtrack for the 1992 blockbuster, "The Bodyguard" - Houston's first film. She meant that this was the pinnacle of what she believed what would be her daughter's success and she was right." "I don't think she just meant that her daughter was great. "I was standing right beside Cissy, and she turned to me, and she said, 'I don't know who you are and why you are here or what you are to me, but you are witnessing greatness right here.' And she was right." More specifically, rarities include an alternate mix of “I Will Always Love You,” which features a spoken word intro of Whitney as Rachel Marron, a previously unreleased A Capella version of “Jesus Loves Me,” and a live version of the rarely performed “Run To You.” Also included are film and live versions of “I Will Always Love” You,” “I Have Nothing,” “Queen of The Night” and more."It was like 'BOOM,'" Foster said. The album includes previously unreleased live recordings from Houston’s “Bodyguard Tour” of 1993-1995 alternate versions of the audio recordings from the “The Bodyguard” film and an alternate version of a remix of “I’m Every Woman.” The album will be available on CD and digital configurations as well as a limited edition 2LP 12″ purple vinyl edition, to be released at a later date.


The album brings together a variety of live and studio recordings, many of them rare or previously unreleased. Sony’s Legacy Recordings, in cooperation Whitney Houston’s estate, is celebrating the 25th anniversary of “ The Bodyguard” soundtrack album with the release of “ Whitney Houston – I Wish You Love: More From ‘The Bodyguard’” on November 17.
