you're the inspiration.
You bring feeling to my life
you're the inspiration.
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me sayin':
No one needs you more than I need you."

ഌ CHICAGO, Hard To Say I'm Sorry/Get Away|Saturday In The Park


It all began with a few music students from DePaul University who got together playing as a band, on and off campus. Their band members grew to seven players and started to name the band, 'The Big Thing'. When 'The Big Thing' was too big to handle, they changed their name to 'Chicago Transit Authority' and later after the Authority got lost in transit, the band's name was shortened to just 'Chicago'.

ഌ CELINE DION, My Heart Will Go On

Céline Marie Claudette Dion, CC, OQ (born March 30, 1968 in Charlemagne, Quebec) is a Canadian sopranosinger, songwriter, and recording artist. Winning both the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest catapulted her to international recognition. It don't come easy to start of her singing career as her manager and future husband Rene Angelil mortgaged his home to finance her first record. She was inducted into the Canadian Broadcast Hall of Fame, and was honoured with a star on Canada's Walk of Fame. She also won the Grammy Awards for "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance" and the most coveted "Record of the Year" for "My Heart Will Go On" (the song won four awards, but two were presented to the songwriters). Most would associate TitaniCeline with the movie 'Titanic' and the unforgettable caption - 'You Jump I Jump'.


The New York Times writes
“ Ms. Dion...is a belter with a high, thin, slightly nasal, nearly vibratoless soprano and a good-sized arsenal of technical skills. She can deliver tricky melismas, produce expressive vocal catches and sustain long notes without the tiniest wavering of pitch. And as her hit duets...have shown, she is a reliable harmony voice."

ഌ CELINE DION, Power of the Dream

The power of the dream, the faith in things unseen, the courage to embrace your fear. No matter where you are, to reach for your own star, to realize the power of the dream, to realize the power of the dream.

Feel the flame forever burn
Teaching lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
The world unites in hope and peace
We pray that it will always be
It is the power of the dream that brings us here
