1974 Ballad Hit No. 1 52 Years Ago Today — and Climbed the Charts Again 18 Years Later ...Saudi Arabia

In 1974, Parton released her power balled, "I Will Always Love You," as a single on March 11. By June 8 of the same year, the song had reached No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Parton's version of the song then hit No. 1 on the same chart again in October of 1982 after it was featured on the soundtrack for The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.

The song found a brand-new, intense wave of success with Houston. In fact, the singer has broken multiple records with her version, which hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1992 and stayed there for a staggering 14 weeks.

If you're worried about bad blood between the song's creator and Houston because of the latter's massive success, though, you shouldn't be. According to the BBC, Parton described hearing Houston's version of the song as "one of the greatest experiences I've ever had in my entire life."
