Along with MariahCarey And Whitney Houstonthe French-Canadian phenomenon, was one of the defining voices of the 1990s, lending her voice to songs that won both Oscars and Grammys. She herself has collected five Grammys in her career – fewer than you might think, but that includes Album of the Year for her 12-times platinum classic “Falling Into You” and Record of the Year for her chart-topping “Titanic” love theme “My Heart Will Go On.”

As the youngest of 14 children, she has been performing since childhood and was discovered by a music manager René Angelilwhich helped her become a teen star in Canada in the 1980s. In the 1990s she made her breakthrough in the USA, starting with her English-language debut album “Unison” and then with duets with Peabody Bryson on the theme song to Beauty and the Beast, which won the Oscar for Best Original Song. A string of classic hits followed, including “Because You Loved Me,” “All By Myself,” and arguably the biggest of her career, “My Heart Will Go On.” In the years and decades that followed, she continued to record albums in French and English.

Unfortunately, in December 2022, she announced that she had been diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, a neurological disorder that causes muscle stiffness and rigidity. But whatever the future holds for her life and career, she has created one hell of a body of work.
