The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album
- SOUNDTRACK THE BODYGUARD
At the time of its release, this was the watershed for soundtracks, selling a kazillion copies. It documents Whitney Houston’s character in the Kevin Costner movie, which required Houston to play only herself (although one hopes she wouldn’t end up with someone as smarmy as Costner). The album is as much a testament to the production of Babyface who, through the mid-1990s, actually was the mainstream of contemporary hit music. Houston’s singing is much better than her acting, and almost every song enjoyed a long tenure at the top of all the charts. Along with “I Will Always Love You” and five other Houston songs, the soundtrack also features Lisa Stansfield, Kenny G with Aaron Neville, and Joe Cocker with Sass Jordan. –Scott Wilson

RIP WHITNEY,
Her gift and status during her peak will always be her legacy. We all overcome obstacles to greatness, not all of us overcome our demons. In her day, no one could touch npher impeccable voice and perfect pitch. She had style and class, something that is sorely lacking in the divas of today. If Whitney never sang another note after this soundtrack, she would still be hailed as one of the greatest voices—– period.

The”Thriller” of the 90’s.Just perfect,
“The Bodyguard” soundtrack is one of the biggest selling albums from the 90’s.The 6 cuts from Whitney are all masterpieces.I was shocked to find out She co-wrote “Queen of the Night,” along with Babyface.This has got to be one of the hardest rocking songs from Houston,and my favorite from the album.”Jesus Loves Me” is another great song not played on the radio.”I will always Love you,” written by Dolly Parton,is beutifull.This was Kevin Costner’s favorite song,and his idea to have Whitney record the number for the soundtrack.The Kenny G/AAron Neville duet,”Even if my heart would Break,” is another great cut,but the real killer is “Its Gonna Be A lovely Day,” by (The S.O.U.L.S.Y.S.T.E.M.)A fantastic rap,early 90’s,HipHop sound. After almost 10 years,”The Bodyguard” soundtrack is still fresh.It would be great if Costner and Houston got together again for “The Bodyguard,Part2.”Whitney’s stlye has changed alot since the early 90’s,and I think the record and Movie would be a huge hit.

A Star Was Born,
Whatever you may think of her today, Whitney’s vocal ability on this CD is amazing and would be difficult to imitate by female singers on the radio today. For those who call it anything other than beautiful, where were you and your sordid opinions when the song “I Will Always Love You” first hit the airwaves? Originally recorded by Dolly Parton, Miss Houston’s interpretation and impeccable performance of “I Will Always Love You” catapulted her into super stardom. Videos also turned her into an international icon of celebrated proportions as The Body Guard Soundtrack continued to climb the charts, set new records and earn numerous awards. In my opinion, Miss Houston need not prove herself any longer. For even without uttering another note, Whitney will go down in history as one of the greatest voices of all time.
