This concert was to celebrate quebecs 400th year. This was the last song of a 3 hour concert, watched by a crowd of 250,000 people. This was in the middle of Céline’s “taking chances” world tour. Celine sang with every other artist who performed, so she was pretty tired at this point. This was the first time that she had ever sung on stage with Ginette. When celine was 12, her brother sent a cassette of celine singing to Ginettes current manager, Rene Angelil, as ginette was the most popular singer in Canada at the time. He had just lost Ginette as a manager. So when he heard Céline’s voice on the cassette tape (a song that Céline’s mom had written), he couldn’t believe her voice. Celine was 12, Rene was 38. He got behind celine, and sent her on the path that he had envisioned for Ginette. This opportunity to sing with Ginette meant so much to celine, because if it hadn’t been for Ginette, celine might not have been such a star. This concert was such a great 3 hours of the best that Canadá can offer. I’ve watched the concert probably 100 times, and I’m not fluent in French by any means. I often have it on the tv whilst working around the house, but always have to sit and watch this last song.

It was also aired on live TV across all of Québec. One of the best performance I've seen in my life. Being french Canadian. Seeing how everyone reacts to ginette showing up mid song. It hits deep in the heart. Toward the end of the song. When celibe songs about going even further and ginette said that once you are higher you might find different paths. I take it as a moment where she passes the torch over to celine. Truly a big ansd beautiful moment in Québec history.

Just imagine Ginette Reno was over 65 years old at that time just imagine her voice when she was 25 just a monstrous powerful voice you saw Celine crying it’s because it was a historic moment in Canada 🇨🇦 because Celine ultimate idol has always been Ginette Reno when she grew up vocally in fact she imitate her quite a few times on television when she was young so you can imagine how emotional she was to finally sing with Ginette Reno who was considered when she was young one of the greatest female singers in the world with Aretha Franklin and Barbara Streisand at their prime

Hi Alex. I’m a French Canadian who lives in the USA. I grew up listening to Ginette Reno. Did you know, René Angelil, the ex-husband of Celine Dion. Before managing Celine’s career, he wanted to bring Ginette on the same level as Celine in the USA. She did not go for it. She did not wanna go international. But she had the potential for sure. Ginette also made a surprise appearance at The voice in Quebec. Appearing as a contestant. She got 4 chairs turned in a matter of seconds. The coaches recognized her voice right away. It was a special moment. Thx for your show.

No. Ginette said several time that they did not went for it because she went too big from depression after being abused by ex lovers. René also cut Laura Fabian from super stardom as well, that is well documented. She got robbed, full stop. Best contralto singer in the world.

Céline Dion wanted to reproduce Ginette Reno's performance of this song on Saint-Jean Baptiste Day, June 24, 1975, the national holiday of the Québécois. Ginette's performance in 75 is considered by Quebecers to be the greatest live performance in Quebec. Jean-Pierre Ferland composed the song... and sadly passed away yesterday.... RIP Jean-Pierre!

Our great songwriter (of this song (written in 1969) and multiple others) and singer Jean-Pierre Ferland passed away yesterday, 27th of April 2024 at the ripe old age of 89. Quebecers and Canadians are all in grief, this monument will be thanked, somewhat celebrated, and receive a national funeral. He developed and sustained a great deal of help in our frail culture which is mostly buried under American English culture.

Céline has mentioned it numerous times that the international career René Angélil built for her was initially meant for Ginette. Ginette was one of Céline's idol when she was young and if Ginette had kept Mr. Angélil as her agent, we may have never known Céline.

Of course being such a small population, everybody knows everybody in the art world, and elsewhere here in Quebec. So of course Jjean-Pierre, Ginette and Céline have known of each other, and each other, since way back when! And no matter who'd they'd have brought on stage it would have been the same thing. That's what was precious at that time.

The manager of Ginette Reno was René Angelil, the husband of Céline before he met Céline, Ginette refused the international career that René offer her, one day he met Celine and made her the star she his now for sure she work hard for that, but with his experience in show bussiness he help a lot, Céline always had and still have a lot of respect for Ginette, our local diva that just like Céline sing with her heart and always give everything she have to the public

OUCH I would say that is your interpretation...LoL Celine very much RESPECTS Ginette Reno. ABSOLUTELY! And I totally respect your opinion if you prefer Ginette. But to Say Celine is scared ... I doubt it. Overwhelmed maybe. Also remember Celine had beend already singing for hours with different artists. She was singing their songs with little rehearsal AND in their key... notice the key change when Ginette started to sing. This was HUGE moment in Quebec music history... it is not lost on either of them. I looove Ginette too, but Céline is arguably one of the top singer ever... her technique, her versatility is unmatched.... that is more than opinion. Listen to her singing ALL genres Celine is a virtuoso musician and her voice is her instrument. My 2 cents LoL
@jas_bataille Жыл бұрын
Absolutely not. The song says, "A little higher, a little further, I can't hold your hand no more" She was Céline's idol, and got kicked out of René's roster for being too big. Céline felt remorse all her life because Ginette is the best contralto singer in the world, but I don't think she feels inferior - and she isn't - but her singing those words to her, while all those years she couldn't perform with her idol and had to live with the fact Ginette herself was kicked out because she replaced her and was prettier... it's pretty damn emotional for her. She couldn't hold her voice much and I can understand.
