Musical Interlude: I'm Every Woman (1992)

 Whitney Houston's cover of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" was still atop the Hot 100 when the 2nd single from the soundtrack to "The Bodyguard" was released to radio stations. And it was another cover.

This time, Whitney covered Chaka Khan's 1978 hit, "I'm Every Woman". Khan appears in the video, along with Whitney's mom, Cissy Houston, Valerie Simpson (Ashford & Simpson), Martha Wash (The Weather Girls, and, technically, Black Box and C & C Music Factory), and Arista labelmates TLC. The C & C boys (Robert Civillies and David Cole) co-produced the track with Narada Michael Walden.
