Dolly Parton wrote that song, she made over 10M on royalties from Whitneys ass kicking rendition.And to all of the woman I have loved and lost:
I saw her live at the Humming Bird once. So many times I was tearing up. Just could not stop it with her incredibly emotional style and supernatural vocals.
Her performance of it is amazing. Saw her live in Montreal.
Is this the ultimate breakup depression song?
