Let's Talk About Love, one of Celine's most recent smash hit albums, was released in December of 1997. Celine considers this the album of her life. Under the production of some of the world's most notable, including the likes of Sir George Martin, Ric Wake, David Foster, and James Horner, LTAL has proved to be one of Celine's best works yet. It had sold over 17 million copies worldwide as of July of 1998. The musical style varies from song to song, but each one reminds us of that very special emotion Celine is famous for spotlighting: love. The love theme comes across full force, from the first of the 15 tracks till the very end. Any fan of Celine knows that collaborations with other musical superstars are a must in Celine's successful formula. LTAL features guest vocals by such greats as Celine's idol Barbara Streisand, tenor legend Luciano Pavarotti, the Bee Gees, and Carol King. Celine and Streisand came together to record Tell Him, an emotional duet created by Linda Thompson, Walter Afanasleff, and David Foster. The Bee Gees, Robin, Maurice, and Barry Gibb, wrote and presented Celine with Immortality. The three brothers also provided background vocals. Carol King, legendary artist of such albums as Tapestry, assisted Celine with vocals on The Reason, co-written by King, Greg Welss, and Mark Hudson. And we musn't forget Pavarotti. Luciano and Celine recorded the duet I Hate You Then I Love You.
And of course, like all albums, LTAL had that one enormous hit that assisted greatly in catapulting the collection to the top. It was called My Heart Will Go On, and if you haven't heard of it before now, you've been living underground. My Heart Will Go On is the award-winning theme song to the major blockbuster film, Titanic. Written for the movie by James Horner, the ballad has created a stir that will probably never be matched. The success of both the film and the song go hand-in-hand, as they reflect so much of each other. Celine recorded My Heart Will Go On as a demo for Horner to introduce to Titanic director, James Cameron. Cameron had already stated that he didn't want any pop songs on the movie's soundtrack, drawing attention away from the film, but he had tears in his eyes from the moment he first heard Celine's magical voice belting out those haunting lyrics. A wise decision, the song was imediately cast into the movie. It has become a part of the legacy that is Titanic. For as long as people remember the movie, they will remember My Heart Will Go On, or vice versa.
