Céline Dion was born March 30, 1968. A French Canadian singer, songwriter, actress, and entrepreneur. Born to a large, impoverished family in Charlemagne, Quebec, Dion emerged as a teen star in the French-speaking world after her manager and future husband René Angélil mortgaged his home to finance her first record. In 1990, she released the anglophone album Unison, establishing herself as a viable pop artist in North America and other English-speaking areas of the world. She has won many awards and has also taken her show to Las Vegas where it was a big success.

This is a well known song by her, it was also the theme of the movie 'titanic', My heart will go on:

Celine Dion& Andrea Bocelli - The prayer

It's interesting how so many great music stars started off so poor and from such troubled backgrounds.

[deyana]

Perhaps that's what makes them so determined to succeed? That was nice one, agua.

I was there, in A´dam! And I had the luck to have had invited my (Cuban born, in the 40s all Mallorquins went either to Cuba or France to find work) Mallorquin wife, who never had heard of neither Compay, or Ferrer, nor even less of Ry Cooder, and when she 2 years later saw the movie and realized it had been a German director - Wim Wnders - who had realized it (also on a trip outside of Spain) there was no way I could have stopped her tears...

Una pena que tantos de estos grandes musicos ya no estan mas con nosotros... Que descansen en paz!

My favorite version of this beatuiful song is the straightforward "Compay 2nd" interpretation of this traditional, much older and long appreicated before he made it into BVSC, D.E.P., maestro!:



From Buena Vista, my favorite is Ferrer´s take on the Spanish (and Nat King Cole) classic "Aquellos ojos verdes"(These green eyes), probably the best interpretation of it hat I have had a chance to hear, maybe because my wife has expained and detailled the background to me, and maybe also because of her green eyes:

Aquellos ojos verdes / Those green eyes
de mirada serena / with this serene look
dejaron en mi alma / left in my soul
eterna sed de amar./ an eternal thirst of love

Anhelos de caricias / Craving the touches
de besos y ternuras / the kisses and the tendernesses
de todas las dulzuras / of (by) all these sweetness
que sabían brindar./ That know (how to) to toast

Aquellos ojos verdes / Those green eyes
serenos como un lago / profound as a lake
en cuyas quietas aguas / in whose calm waters
un día me miré./ I will see myself (reflected) one day

No saben las tristezas / You wont know the sadness(es)
que en mi alma han dejado / that in my soul left
aquellos ojos verdes / those green eyes
que ya nunca olvidaré./ that I will never forget

Rattler

Love the verse, Rattler. Very touching.

Lady Gaga



Real name Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, born March 28 1986, in New York City, to an Italian American family. She learned to play piano from the age of four, went on to write her first piano ballad at 13 and began performing at open mike nights by age 14. She says that she was always a little eccentric, often felt like a freak at school and just didn't seem to fit in.

She has progressed to having quite a few best selling hits, maybe the most well known one is the award winning song - Bad Romance:
