'I Will Always Love You' was originally recorded by the 76-year-old country star in 1973. Whitney's version was recorded for 'The Bodyguard' soundtrack.

Dolly, who hosted Sunday night's ACM Awards, joined Kelly on stage after the performance and couldn't stop singing her praises.
"I know that Whitney is smiling down on us tonight, so thank you very much — she would be proud of that. I was backstage trying not to cry my false eyelashes off — slinging snot in every direction and tears. But anyway, that was an amazing job!" People magazine quoted the 'Jolene' hitmaker as saying.
