FROM THE 'TMI' VALENTINE'S VAULT: "I Will Always Love You"
Listen now
Description
Jordan and Alex head to Hollywood by way of Nashville for an in-depth examination of one of the greatest love songs of all time, the Dolly Parton-written and Whitney Houston-defined "I Will Always Love You!" They'll drill down into Parton's relationship with her early mentor Porter Wagoner, the guy she wrote the song about, take a quick look at the development of the movie that featured the song, "The Bodyguard," and pepper in some wonderful anecdotes from the recording process, like when Whitney's mom Cissy told producer David Foster she was witnessing greatness as Whitney tracked it. Along the way, there's some patented TMI digressions into the Linda Ronstadt's sneaky status as the Forrest Gump of 20th-century music, whether or not Kevin Costner is Cool, Actually, and of course, the story of Parton and Houston's mutual admiration and friendship. Oh, and a guest appearance from enemy of the pod Saddam Hussein. Too Much Information: *We* will always love you. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
