All The Way... A Decade of Song 1999


Celine is the world's best-selling solo artist and a five-time Grammy Award winner. She has sold more than 100 million albums in the past decade. 'All The Way - A Decade Of Song' is a collection of Celine's greatest hits in addition to seven new songs recorded specifically for this collection.

The title track "All The Way" is a loving tribute to one of Celine's all-time favorite singers, Frank Sinatra. "That's The Way It Is" is the premiere single and video from the album, produced by Max Martin and Kristian Lundin (Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears). "That's The Way It Is" is a heartfelt mid-tempo track perfectly in tune with contemporary pop music. Another classic track is "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" an Ewen MacColl ballad which became a No. 1 hit for Roberta Flack in 1972. Produced by longtime collaborator David Foster, this sensitive production and orchestration frame one of Céline's finest vocal performances. Celine also worked with Robert John "Mutt" Lange, best known for his multi-platinum recordings with Shania Twain, on "If Walls Could Talk."
