Chris Cornell has a broad history of tackling covers. Whether it’s aping Michael Jackson or sending his vocals to the ceiling during a rendition of “Ave Maria”, the Soundgarden frontman really knows no limits. Last night, at a benefit for President Obama at San Francisco’s Regency Center residence hall, Cornell segued into a cover of Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You”, which in itself was a Dolly Parton cover to begin with, though as Paul de Revere contended earlier this week, it’ll always be Whitney’s. Check out Cornell’s version below.
