Whitney Houston‘s iconic hit “I Will Always Love You” is getting inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

The Hall of Fame honors timeless or historically significant songs, and this song definitely fits the bill. Just read the title, and you’ll start singing it in your head. It’s a career-defining song for Houston, and we’re glad to see it getting the recognition it deserves.

Other notable honorees are Public Enemy (“Fight the Power”), Sam Cooke (“Bring It On Home to Me”) and Dr. Dre (“The Chronic”).
