Born to a large impoverished family, 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.
Dion had first gained international recognition in the 1980s by winning both the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest.Following a series of French albums in the early 1980s, she signed on to CBS Records Canada in 1986. During the 1990s, with the help of Angélil, she achieved worldwide fame after signing with Epic Records and releasing several English albums along with additional French albums, becoming one of the most successful artists in pop music history. However, in 1999 at the height of her success, Dion announced a temporary retirement from entertainment in order to start a family and spend time with her husband, who had been diagnosed with cancer.She returned to the top of pop music in 2002 and signed a three-year (later extended to almost five years) contract to perform nightly in a five-star theatrical show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas.
After performing in 25 countries during the Taking Chances World Tour which ended in February 2009 (one year after it began) she took another 2 year hiatus, focusing on expanding her family. After 6 in-vitro tries she gave birth to twin boys Nelson and Eddy in October 2010. In the meantime she announced her return to Vegas, her new show simply named "Céline" premièred on March 15th 2011 to spectacular reviews by media and audience.
Dion's music has been influenced by genres ranging from rock and R&B to gospel and classical. While her releases have often received mixed critical reception, she is renowned for her technically skilled and powerful vocals. Dion is the best selling Canadian artist of all time; and her album D'eux is the best selling francophone album of all time. Dion is regarded as one of pop music's most influential voices. Linda Lister describes Dion as a reigning Queen of Pop for her influence over the record industry during the 1990s. On a cultural level, Dion is credited for introducing francophone music to many non-francophone countries around the globe. Dion is also credited for both revitalizing and revolutionizing the entertainment scene in Las Vegas with the gargantuan successes of her residencies there. She managed to re-popularize the Las Vegas "residency" as a desirable way for top artists to essentially tour in place, letting their fans come to them. Over the years, fellow established icons such as Britney Spears, Elton John, Bette Midler, Rod Stewart, Cher and Shania Twain followed suit.

The song "Little Bit of Love" by Celine Dion is a beautiful song that portrays the power and strength of love in revitalizing and restoring someone who has been broken down by the challenges of life. The song opens with the singer acknowledging the brokenness of the man she loves, who has lost his confidence due to the challenges that life has thrown his way. She seeks to reassure him that she knows how to help him ease the pain and bounce back to life. The chorus of the song emphasizes the power of love to transform and restore, stating that just a little bit of love can go a long way in helping someone through tough times.
The second verse sees the singer offering herself as a source of healing and comfort, urging the man to let go of his anger and let her love take over. She sees a glimmer of hope in the man's smile and notes that something is catching fire as they share the moment together. The song encourages the man to hold on through the dark night because the morning will bring new hope and that they will see it through together.

And they say celine isn’t agile 🤷🏼♀️
Luan Araujo
This song could easily had been a big hit for Céline...❤
TROYA Oficial
This song could have been a big hit on the charts.

@Romi Agreed. It would've done well had it been on one of her earlier albums in 1992 or 1993. Then again, it could've gone to #1 on the Dance charts in 1997. So many artists, including Mariah Carey, included dance remixes or tracks on their records.
Romi
@Jennifer Burchill A celine dion uptempo probably wasn't gonna do very well on the charts in 1997.
Jennifer Burchill
I'm wondering why it was never promoted?
Soban Khatri

Dana Abel
