You'll find it at <A HREF="http://www.allmusicstores.com/index.html">All Music Stores!</A> <P>From humble beginnings in a rural French Canadian home town, Celine Dion has risen to international superstardom like a shooting star. Celine has been called the premier contemporary pop vocalist of the Nineties. She has earned music industry accolades from around the world: Grammy Awards in the US, Juno and Felix Awards in Canada, and World Music Awards in Europe. The entire world has seen Celine Dion literally transform herself from a gifted pre-adolescent into an international superstar.</P> <P></P> <P>Born in Charlemagne (a small town 30 miles east of Montreal, Quebec, Canada), Celine is the youngest of 14 children of a highly musical family. Her parents, both musicians, operated a small club, and on weekends, the entire family performed and entertained the local population. From the tender age of 5, Celine sang with her siblings and quickly acquired the ability of performing live. At the age of twelve, together with her mother and one of her brothers, Celine composed a French song which would forever alter the course of her life.</P> <P></P> <P>The demo tape containing the song was brought to the attention of Rene Angelil, a well respected personal manager. In January 1981, Rene was so taken by the voice of the young Celine, that he became determined to make her an internationally known talent - he even mortgaged his house to finance the recording of Celine's debut album!</P> <P></P> <P>Celine began to receive recognition for her talent in 1982, winning the Gold Medal at the Yamaha World Song Festival in Tokyo, along with the coveted Musician's Award for Top Performer. In 1983, she became the first Canadian ever to receive a Gold Record in France.</P> <P></P> <P>At this time, the Celine juggernaut started rolling at a momentous pace in the UK. British fans took extremely well to "Think Twice," a ballad on 'The Colour Of My Love'. For five consecutive weeks, the song and album stood on top of the respective British charts, an achievement not replicated since 1965 and the heyday of The Beatles. "Think Twice" remained at number one for two more weeks, surpassing the magic million mark to become only the fourth million-selling single ever in the UK by a female artist.</P> <P></P> <P>With 'D'eux', Celine achieved what everyone thought was impossible - introduced French music to the upper reaches of the British charts. The world had truly discovered Celine Dion.</P> <P></P> <P>Blessed with one of popular music's truly great voices, she has crossed all barriers - even that of language - with her electrifying series of international hits. With her breakneck pace of recording, video shoots, touring and appearing on TV shows and awards specials, it seems like Celine has time for little else. Not the case when it comes to an important cause. Celine has used her talents to further cause of the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. In fact, one of Celine's most emotional songs ("Vole," from the 'D'eux' album, later translated into English as the song "Fly," which appears on the 'Falling Into You' album) is a memorial to her niece, Karine, who was taken from her by this disease.</P> <P></P> <P>Celine's next album, 'These Are Special Times,' featured sixteen songs of the holiday season, including the Christmas pop classics "Blue Christmas" and "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)"; and such traditional religious favorites as "O Holy Night" and "Adeste Fidelis (O Come All Ye Faithful)." In addition, 'These Are Special Times' produced the No. 1 single "I'm Your Angel," Celine's duet with R. Kelly, who wrote and produced the song; the Diane Warren-penned title track, "These Are Special Times"; and "The Prayer," a duet with Andrea Bocelli.</P> <P></P> <P>'All The Way...A Decade Of Song' is a collection of Celine's greatest hits, including her chart-topping hit singles "The Power Of Love," "Because You Loved Me," "I'm Your Angel," and the Grammy and Academy Award-winning classic "My Heart Will Go On." Also included are "Beauty And The Beast," "It's All Coming Back to Me Now"; and "If You Asked Me To."</P> <P></P> <P>Seven brand-new songs, were recorded specifically for this collection, including the title song "All The Way," a respectful and loving tribute to one of Celine's all-time favourite singers, the late Frank Sinatra.</P> <P></P> <P>With each new release, Celine has managed to top her previous successes and, along the way, has become one of the brightest stars in the world of popular music. Who would have imagined that Quebec's best kept secret could have conquered the world the way she has?</P> <P></P> <P>Looking back now, we should have known it all along.</P> <P></P> <P>At <A HREF="http://www.allmusicstores.com/index.html">All Music Stores</A>, you'll discover an easy to use, information packed web site. <A HREF="http://www.allmusicstores.com/index.html">Click here to learn more about Celine Dion.</A></P> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <P><IMG SRC="blueline.jpg" ALT="celine dion cds online, celine dion cd's, celine dion, Celine Dion" width=640 height=20></P> </CENTER> </td></tr></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td> <p align="center">  </td></tr></table></BODY>
