20 years after My Heart Will Go On

Last night Celine Dion received the Icon Award at the Billboard Awards in fear of a very tearful speech. In it he reminded his husband Rene Angelli, who molded his career and passed away last January (two days before Dion's brother). It would seem that this is its worst year, but yesterday said that "the show must continue." The composer of My heart will go on, James Horner, also died in June of 2015 in a plane accident to the 61 years. Titanic is one of the best-selling soundtracks in history and its only song sung one of the most successful singles of the twentieth century and that definitely made millionaire to Celine Dion (and himself). Here are some facts about the most famous song of the nineties that you probably did not know about.

My heart will go on was released in 1997 and ended up being the world's best selling single in 1998. Today it remains one of the best selling singles in history.

The song came to take shape despite an initial succession of noes and doubts. At first it was an instrumental theme (which remains in the Titanic BSO) and James Cameron declined to add lyrics. He did not want a song sung in his movie. Horner tried to convince the most successful singer of the time, Celine Dion, to record a model and show Cameron the potential of the song. But then he met another not: the singer's own.
