Celine's collaboration with Phil Spector in 1995

[vagoguma]

The mad genius Phil Spector worked with Celine in 1995, during the beginning of the production of Falling Into You.Unfortunately, that fell through after only one month.

 

I'm dying to hear these songs and I was wondering if they were leaked sometime in the past.

 

Any additional information on this unfinished project is also welcome.

 

I'll paste here some of the relative articles I found after some Googling.

 

 

2003:

Here's Celine Dion's 1995 ''buried treasure'' -- The diva's former producer, Phil Spector, dishes on how he plans to release a vault of her unheard tunes.

In 1995, Phil Spector, who hadn't produced an album in 15 years, attempted to build his Wall of Sound around Celine Dion. Instead, he succeeded in erecting a wall between himself and Dion's team. Spector fans were crestfallen when he was booted from the producer list on Falling Into You — for unspecified reasons — in favor of such adult-contemporary standbys as David Foster. When EW asked Spector for comment in 1996, the reclusive producer responded with an 800-word letter praising Dion and railing against her associates. He characterized the work of the album's other producers as ''contrived and repugnant or nothing more than Whitney Houston- and Mariah Carey-rejected, soundalike songs . . . 'produced' by amateurs, students, and bad clones of yours truly.'' But ''should you wish to hear the amazing and historic recordings I made with Ms. Dion, have no fear. . . . Since I paid for them and own them, I am planning to release them on my label, for the entire world to hear, and compare . . . to her current recordings, or whatever you call those things they've released with her.'' He may or may not still have those tapes in his vault, but eight years later, with Spector facing some vault time of his own for an alleged murder (for which he has pleaded not guilty), we're not holding our breath for that particular indie release.

 

 

Spector, in his long latter-days, became a famous recluse. He did contemplate making a comeback in the mid-'90s, after seeing Celine Dion singing a version of "River Deep - Mountain High" on TV one night. But after spending a month in the studio with the singer, he stormed off, ranting about Dion's handlers and their lack of respect for his legendary talents. ("You don't tell Shakespeare what plays to write," he groused, "or how to write them.") He recently told the British writer Mick Brown that he was taking medication for schizophrenia ("But I wouldn’t say I'm schizophrenic"). "I have devils inside," he said, "that fight me."

Celine also commented at the time:

 

"Phil wrote incredible songs (for me). I couldn't give all the time he wanted and it's a shame, because the songs were amazing".

 

Here's an overview of Spector's life and his amazing carreer:
