Blessed with one of popular music's 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 Céline has time
for little else. Not the case when it comes to an important cause. Céline has
used her talents to further the cause of the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
In fact, one of Céline'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 touching memorial to her niece,
Karine, who was taken from her by this disease.
Released
in March 1996, 'Falling Into You' became the best-selling album released that
year; topped the charts in 11 countries, and was voted Album of the Year and
Best Pop Album at the 39th annual Grammy Awards ceremony. The album has sold
more than 25 million copies worldwide.

Let's Talk About Love' is the
follow-up to Céline's double Grammy Award-winning album. Recorded in London,
New York and Los Angeles, 'Let's Talk About Love' features a host of special
guests including some of popular music's greatest vocalists, songwriters, and
producers.
'Let's
Talk About Love' was released on the same day as the soundtrack of the motion
picture 'Titanic'. Both albums featured the much-loved Titanic movie's theme
song, "My Heart Will Go On," written by James Horner and produced by
James Horner and Walter Afanasieff. "My Heart Will Go On" quickly
became the wedding song of choice for Céline's fans.
In
a stunning back-to-back achievement, 'Let's Talk About Love' went on to match
the 27 million worldwide sales of its predecessor; 'Titanic' also sold over 27
million copies worldwide. It is the all-time best-selling orchestral soundtrack
in recording history. Céline sang "My Heart Will Go On" on the
worldwide telecast of the 70th Annual Academy Awards, live from the Dorothy
Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles. The song won the Academy Award for Best
Original Song -- the second Oscar for a song sung by Céline Dion, following
"Beauty And The Beast."
A new French album, 'S'il suffisait d'aimer,' recorded in February 1998, was
officially released worldwide on September 8. The first featured single,
"Zola sourit" received rave responses on the radio all over the world.
Céline first introduced her fans to the album's title track during her Let's
Talk About Love World Tour.
