I was probably very tired that day. I don’t know, very tired,” Celine said on the show. However, thanks to her late husband, Rene Angelil who talked her into recording the song, we have a timeless classic that is just as cherished as the first time today. “… my husband said, ‘Let’s hold on,’” she continued. “He talks to the writer and says, ‘Let’s try to make a little demo,’” she recalled. “I sang the song once and they built the orchestra around it. I never resang it for the recording, actually. So, the demo is the actual recording, but after that I sang it about three gazillion times.” Youtube Video Screenshot The song went on to win multiple awards such as best original song at the 70th Academy Awards, Grammy Awards for record of the year, song of the year, best female pop vocal performance, and best song written specifically for a motion picture or television. It topped the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 1 for two weeks in a row and is the song most associated with Celine Dion today. https://youtu.be/9bFHsd3o1w0
