Celine Dion - "Have a Heart"

[benmcd2000]

This is a very important song in the career of Celine Dion. It was actually written first in French by Aldo Nova. (Partout Je Te Vois) After Tommy Mottola signed Celine to do an English album...he commisoned Ralph McCarthy and Billy Steinbeg to compose English lyrics to the song because he loved the melody. They came up with "Have a Heart" and Celine performed it for the first time at the 1987 Juno Awards. The performance was outstanding and blew away the crowd in attendance and the entire pop music industry. See the video below...sorry for the poor quality.

The performance changed Sony's thought about the album and with the help of David Foster, Tommy Mottola gave the green light for a major budget increase to the debut English album Unison. The rest of course is music history as "Unison" was a major success for Celine and would set the stage for her to become one of the biggest female artist in the history of music.

For me, "Have a Heart" is one of her greatest recordings. Celine has often been criticized for singing without emotion...however, on this track....she sings her heart out. You really can feel her passion especially in the bridge and final chorus. Too bad she never performs the song anymore as I bet it would sound incredible with her voice so much stronger then it was back during the "Unison" era

Agreed, this song is simply amazing. It's my favorite song off the Unison albumShe really gives it her all in this track.

Her vocal on this is unreal.

Honestly, one of my all time favorite Céline songs. Such a classic quality to it with a lovely, friendly melody and, of course, a terrific vocal.
