The song has a saxophone solo by Kirk Whalum . She was originally to record Jimmy Ruffin's "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" as the lead single from The Bodyguard . However, when it was discovered the song was to be used for Fried Green Tomatoes, Houston requested a different song . It was her co-star Kevin Costner who suggested "I Will Always Love You", playing her Linda Ronstadt's 1975 version from her album Prisoner in Disguise . Producer David Foster re-arranged the song as a soul ballad . Her record company did not feel a song with an a cappella introduction would be as successful; however, Houston and Costner insisted on retaining it . When Parton heard that Houston was using Ronstadt's recording as a template, she called Foster to give him the final verse, which was missing from the Ronstadt recording, as she felt it was important to the song . The tenor saxophone solo was played by Kirk Whalum . Whitney Houston's recording is not the only version of the song featured in the movie . In a scene where she dances with Kevin Costner, a version by John Doe can be heard playing on a jukebox . </P> <P> Houston's version appears at No. 9 on NME's Greatest No 1 Singles in History list . In 2004, Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You" finished at #65 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema . It was also ranked at number 22 on The Guardian's list of Britain's favorite 100 songs, published in May 2002 . In February 2014, the song was placed at number six on Billboard's list of the Top 50' Love' Songs of All Time . </P>
