  • Legacy

Born into a large family in Charlemagne, Quebec, Dion was discovered by her future manager and husband, René Angélil, and emerged as a teen star in her home country with a series of French-language albums during the 1980s. She gained international recognition by winning the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest, where she represented Switzerland with the song “Ne partez pas sans moi”. Her debut English-language album, Unison (1990), established her as a viable pop artist primarily in North America and several English-speaking markets, while The Colour of My Love (1993) gave her global success. Dion continued her success throughout the 1990s with several of the best-selling albums in history, such as Falling into You (1996) and Let’s Talk About Love (1997), which were both certified diamond in the U.S. She has accumulated a catalog of numerous high-charting tracks, including “Beauty and the Beast”, “The Power of Love”, “Think Twice”, “To Love You More”, “Because You Loved Me”, “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now”, “All by Myself”, “I’m Your Angel”, “That’s the Way It Is”, “I’m Alive” and “My Heart Will Go On”, the theme for the 1997 film Titanic.
