Céline Dion's tremulous purr is one of the most instantly recognisable voices in popular music, taking her from teen francophone fame to global superstardom. Her songs are an exquisite fusion of the redemptive power of soul music (gospel in particular), the immaculate melodic beauty of Broadway showtunes and the keening melancholy of French chanson. But the thoroughbred perfection of that voice, at its most powerful and supple in the emotive power ballads—including the Titanic soundtrack's colossal “My Heart Will Go On”—is what made her a household name.
