      Legend has it she did this in one take and never came back for corrections from the engineers' POV due to personal issues she was going through at the time.
      Hence the Celine Dion remake some years later.

      @@maxdominate2481 Celine did the song years after this one. Celine did nothing different to the song, basically it is like she is doing karaoke.
      A true ARTIST takes a song and makes it their own. Ike and Tina Turner did Proud Mary after CCR and their version is the same song but you know it is not CCR when you hear it. That’s what makes it a true version. Any bar band can do the song just like CCR did…Or in this case, Celine singing this song just like Labelle.
      And some say she did ‘better’-she did it years later, she had time to listen to it and do her little thing. It is not like she did the song at the same time.
      There is one song like that, “How Do I Live” by Lee Anne Rimes. That song was also done by Trisha Yearwood. The songwriter wrote the song for Lee Anne and when the movie company heard it they wanted a more adult sound and got that from Trisha. Lee Anne released the song anyway and had success with it.
      Both their versions sound the same, the difference is their voices. LeeAnne sounds young and fun Trisha sounds older and more mature. That is why the movie company wanted her, they didn’t want a 14 year old singing the love theme of the movie.

      CÈLINE is the G.O.A.T of ballads. This patti can tip at the level of Cèline. And it is not a matter of preferences but technical matter, voice sound the power, the color of her voice and talent
      Patti is kinda crooning and humming.
      Go listen to the Cèline version again. And say sorry.

    I've met her in person backstage after her concert. The "REALIST of the real!!!" So humble and down to earth. She shot this video the day after her sister's funeral. Her sister asked her to come and bring one of her famous "egg salad sandwiches" to her. Patti put it off. She died, and Patti often talks about it in her concerts. Moral of the story: "NEVER put off tomorrow what you can do today". Tell someone TODAY you love them, forgive them TODAY because tomorrow is not promised to any of us.

Her performance, the tears were all real. I remember my sister at that time was in the hospital in a coma with Encephalitis/ severe seizures/ and I was told she would either die or she was going to be a "vegetable". My sister was in a coma for about a month before she regained consciousness. She had to learn to walk and talk again, but she pulled through and graduated high school later that year.

Pay attention to all you Millennials out there who think everything is so easy, & instant. I truly feel sorry for your generation that is completely lost in all aspects of life. Notice the instrumentals & background choir!? That is no longer found in today's music. I love my generation where Men acted like Men, we dressed up before going out. We courted our ladies, & sang to them with songs like this one. We still said 'Good Morning' to Ppl around us. We had "Break-up' & 'Falling in Love' songs....

    I don't know who needs to hear this today, but give GOD a little more time. Give HIM your worries, accept HIS peace and rest. He will drive you and pave the way for you. Amen ♥ 🕊!

    Love this song - between Miss LaBelle (losing her sister - R.I.P) and Celine Dion (for her love René Angéli - R.l.P), both had different interpretations from their times and sung it beautifully! Still powerful today.

    She’s so strong! There’s no way I could shoot this song directly after my sister’s funeral.
