The Greatest Love of All
"The Greatest Love of All" is a song written by composers Michael Masser (music) and Linda Creed (lyrics). It was originally recorded in 1977 by American singer and guitarist George Benson, who made the song a substantial hit that year. The song is perhaps even more well-known for a later version by Whitney Houston, whose 1985 cover (with the slightly amended title "Greatest Love of All") eventually topped the charts in Australia, Canada and the U.S. in 1986.
==Composition==
"The Greatest Love of All" was written as the main theme of the 1977 film ''"The Greatest"'', a biopic of Muhammad Ali. Michael Masser wrote the music; he was later accused by Gordon Lightfoot of plagiarizing 24 bars of his 1971 hit "If You Could Read My Mind". (Specifically, the part of the song that begins "I decided long ago..." bears a marked compositional similarity to Lightfoot's passage in "If You Could Read My Mind" that begins "I never thought I could feel this way...") Lightfoot eventually dropped the suit out of respect for singer Whitney Houston.
Linda Creed wrote the lyrics in the midst of her struggle with breast cancer. The title "The Greatest Love of All" refers to one's love for oneself. Nine years later after the song was written, Creed ended up being the victim of cancer and died on April 10, 1986 at the age of 37.
