Whitney Houston -- "I Will Always Love You"
Working as a cashier at a Schnuck's in the summer of 1992, I heard this song about once an hour during every eight-hour shift, and it just about drove me to despair. I did not dig this kind of thing in 1992, and I haven't since -- pop music is generally not my thing. But there's something Whitney Houston could do that I have to respect: she could sing, which is more than I can say for the American idols of today and their heavily processed vocals. R.I.P., and happy Valentine's Day.
