It did best in The Netherlands (No.12), Iceland (No.13) and Austria (No.16), while making the top thirty in the UK. Again, its release was confined to Europe, where the song performed as you would expect a seventh single would perform, a year and a half after the album it came from was released. Although King never released it as a single, Celine did and in early 1999 and, including backing vocals from Diana herself, it became the seventh and final track released of its own accord. Treat Her Like A LadyĬeline does Reggae-R&B now with this uplifting and ‘lively’ number from the pen of singer Diana King, who recorded it for her debut album “Stronger Than Love” two years earlier.

It has all the epic flare and charm of a Celine ballad but with added Bee-Gee high notes in the background! The song simply cried out of commercial release, and indeed, in the Spring of 1998, it became the fifth single to be lifted from the album, again everywhere except America! Why? Who knows, surely it would of been a number one without fail had it of been… It was, however, an immediate success internationally, reaching the top ten in over a dozen countries, particularly in Germany, where Celine and Bee Gee fans seemed to relish the pairing of two such emanant performing acts. ImmortalityĪnd it just carries on as Celine joins forces with The Bee Gees for their self-penned smoothie, “Immortality”, and in doing so, Celine joins the long list of A-list stars the trio have written for including Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick and Barbra Striesand to name but a few. “The Reason” sets the scene for all the celebrity pomp and glamour yet to come. Nevertheless, the song topped the French singles chart and sold over a million copies and peaked at No.11 in the UK, where it sold over 100,000 copies. The song was released as the second single from the album, albeit only in Europe. The album kicks off in exceptionally fine style and in outstanding company as Carole King writes and Sir George Martin produces “The Reason”, a typical Celine mid-tempo ballad with plenty of high notes for Celine to hit and re-establish her presence.

If Celine had scaled the very peak of the music business with her last recording, it would take a plunge to the bottom of the ocean to find the next big thing! A year and a half on from “ Falling Into You“, the new album was ready. A star studded line up queued to record with Celine for this next album and if that wasn’t enough, another film song added to Celine’s growing collection of movie hits. But as 1996 turned into 1997, recording for a new English language album had begun and one which would throw every kitchen sink available into the mixing pot. By Christopher Smith Following the monstrous success of “ Falling Into You“, Celine Dion had very possibly hit her peak, sixteen years since her debut release.
