No, the ubiquitous theme from TITANIC is not on this disc. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, its more important to note that the selections contained on this compilation number among the Canadian songbird's finest performances. Not only are these some of the golden moments from one of pop music's most celebrated vocalists, but there's a wealth of songwriting firepower at work here as well, as the likes of Carole King, Babyface, David Foster, and teen pop maestro Max Martin are among the composers whose work is interpeted by the incomparable Celine Dion. Ultimately, THE COLLECTOR'S SERIES VOL. 1 works equally well as thumbnail career summary and as an effective case for Ms. Dion's iconhood. |

| | Bio | | | Born in Charlemagne (a small town 30 miles east of Montreal, Quebec, Canada), Celine Dion 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. 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! 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. The streak of recognition had begun. Celine's international breakthrough came when she recorded the title track for the soundtrack to the animated Disney hit movie Beauty and the Beast. The song went to number one and garnered an Academy Award and a Grammy Award. Beauty and the Beast formed the cornerstone for Celine's second English-language album, Celine Dion. 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.
