In 1994, who won the Album of the Year Grammy for "The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack"?

Whitney Houston won the 1994 Album of the Year Grammy for The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album. The award was presented at the 36th Annual Grammy Awards on March 1, 1994, honoring recordings released during the previous eligibility period.

The Bodyguard soundtrack was tied closely to Houston because she starred in the film as singer Rachel Marron and performed six of its songs. Its defining track was her dramatic version of Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You,” which became one of the best-known recordings of her career. Houston also won Record of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female, for the song at the same ceremony.

Although The Bodyguard is a film soundtrack featuring multiple artists, Grammy records identify Houston as the Album of the Year winner. The soundtrack also became a massive commercial success, spending weeks at number one and eventually earning diamond certification in the United States. A common mix-up is to credit the film or its producer alone; the quiz’s canonical artist answer is Whitney Houston.
