As we wrap up our Soundtrack Summer series, we’re going out with a blockbuster — the iconic 1992 soundtrack to The Bodyguard, starring Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner. This album wasn’t just a soundtrack; it became a global cultural phenomenon and one of the best-selling albums of all time.
Led by Whitney Houston’s immortal performance of “I Will Always Love You”, this soundtrack redefined what a film score could achieve commercially and emotionally. That soaring Dolly Parton cover — with its a cappella opening and powerhouse delivery — remains one of the most recognized ballads in history.
But The Bodyguard soundtrack is much more than one hit. It features additional Houston classics like “I Have Nothing,” “Run to You,” “Queen of the Night,” and “I’m Every Woman”, showcasing her dynamic vocal range across pop, R&B, and soul genres. Side B of the record includes contributions from other artists like Kenny G, Lisa Stansfield, and Joe Cocker, balancing the album with smooth jazz and adult contemporary vibes.
With over 45 million copies sold worldwide, The Bodyguard is not only the best-selling soundtrack of all time — it cemented Whitney Houston’s place as a global superstar and ushered in a new era for movie music.
It’s only fitting that we close out our summer-long celebration of soundtrack classics with this legendary album. From funky breakdancing beats to heart-wrenching ballads, Soundtrack Summer has been a journey through vinyl’s greatest movie moments — and The Bodyguard hits every emotional note to bring it home.
