Canadian singer and businesswoman, who did not speak English until 1987, when she learned in order to sing bilingually. Dion grew up dirt poor, the youngest of a close-knit family that numbered 14 kids of retired piano-bar owners. Her dad played the accordion and her mom the violin. Weekly sing-alongs among the kids gave Celine a chance to show her natural five-octave range. She performed from the time she was five and her first hit single was in France when she was 14. 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. Dion first gained international recognition in the 1980s by winning both the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest where she represented Switzerland. Moving into the music world, she never finished high school or had a usual adolescence, but was able to buy her folks a lakefront home outside of Montreal when she was 18. Steinbrecher quotes Paddy de Jabrun who quotes her for "born at Noon" on Europe 1 radio station. McKay-Clements quotes James Elliot, "She gave 12:30 PM over the radio." But is she born in Charlemagne or Repentigny?
