Who wrote "I Will Always Love You"?

There are a lot of songs that I had to be told were covers. From Sinead O'Conner's rendition of "Nothing Compares 2 U" to Natalie Imbruglia's "Torn", sometimes updated versions simply outshine the originals.

Whitney Houston's '90s hit, "I Will Always Love You", was one such case for a lot of youngsters from the time. Turns out, the song was written by another legend in another time. Who was it?
