THE BODYGUARD won the 1994 Grammy Award for "Record Of The Year." "I Will Always Love You" won 1994 Grammys for "Record Of The Year" and "Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female." "Im Every Woman" was nominated for a 1994 Grammy Award for "Best R&B Vocal Performance, Female."
One of the highlights of THE BODYGUARD soundtrack is how the films female lead, Whitney Houston, brings her gospel roots front and center on the half dozen tracks which feature her soaring vocals. These churchy musical overtones are apparent throughout "Jesus Loves Me!" and on her unaccompanied intro to the hit "I Will Always Love You" (penned by country diva Dolly Parton), and in case you didnt get the message, Kirk Whalums sanctified saxophone break adds an exclamatory Amen. Elsewhere Houston continues to mine her rich vein of ornate balladry and pop-flavored dance workouts on the Ashford & Simpson original "Im Every Woman" and on her own "Queen Of The Night," with its percolating upbeat production a la L.A. Reid & Babyface.
But for fans of romantic pop theres more than Whitney Houston to recommend THE BODYGUARD: The quavering falsetto and rich tenor of the great vocal stylist Aaron Neville find a perfect compliment in Kenny Gs soulful alto breaks on "Even If My Heart Would Break;" Curtis Stigers offers a taste of Stax/Volt soul on his version of Nick Lowes "(Whats So Funny Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding," and Joe Cocker teams with Sass Jordan on the rocking love song "Trust In Me."
Editorial reviews
...artistically satisfying and uncharacteristically hip... - Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly (12/04/1992)
3 Stars - Good - ...the six songs with which Whitney Houston kicks off this compilation leave the competition gasping at her immaculate vocal dexterity and ability to personalise songs...
