However, the most famous and commercially successful version of the song was recorded by Whitney Houston in 1992 for the film The Bodyguard. Houston's rendition became a massive global hit, topping the charts in 34 countries and becoming the best-selling single by a female solo artist of all time. She won multiple Grammy Awards for her performance of the song.
