LIVE À PARIS
Live à Paris (meaning Live in Paris) is a live album by Canadian singer Celine Dion, released on October 22, 1996. It’s her 3rd live album, 18th French album and 22nd in total. (More from Wikipedia)
We were in Europe for my first (and probably only) trip in April 1995; I can always pinpoint the time because the Oklahoma City Bombing took place while we were there. At that time, Celine Dion was being widely promoted for a concert appearance in Paris. I remembered wondering at the time what the big deal was; I knew that she spoke French and just assumed that she was from France. Actually, Celine Dion – who has one of the purest singing voices of her generation – is French Canadian; and this was her first concert in France, so it really was a big deal. A DVD and album of a concert by her that was recorded in October of that year, Live à Paris was released the following year.
