Celine always gets rejects from artists. And after that it's made to believe that they specifically wrote it for her.

And the general public thinks she writes her own stuff

[PuraVida]

and here's an interview with the composer...

He has that english recording in his vault !!!

 

If anyone finds them on social media, we can kindly message them

[ryba]

If the other unreleased song is indeed “Star Spangled Love” It’s registered with Sia as the performer and also on the writer credits the two guys that make Stargate but before Céline it was supposed to go to American Idol Alumni Jessica Sanchez who recorded it on 2014

 

 

Jessica Sanchez Talks New Sia Collaboration

 

“Sanchez surprisingly revealed how much she loves EDM, and said she recently recorded a track called “Star-Spangled Love” that we can all dance to.

 

“I actually recorded an EDM song with Stargate,” she explains. “It was written by Sia, and it was such an incredible song. I really wish I could sing it for [everyone] or play it. [sigh] I love it!””

so this song is from 2014? And why did Sanchez not release it after having recorded it?

[Davey84]

 

Sorry. This looks like google translate with some bad editing to make it try to make sense. I don't mind this staying in the vault lol.

 

No these are actually the lyrics that René Grignon wrote and share with us (The Power Of The Music)! Granted, they aren't the best lyrics (maybe because he's a French native speaker). And I understand why they asked Eddy for French lyrics instead. However, when you 'sing' the lyrics to the music, they do fit well.

In today's day and age it really doesn't make sense anymore to let songs unreleased if they are good enough. Why not release them onto YouTube and collect clicks? Edited May 30, 2023 at 09:35 AM by ryba

It's interesting to read that he keeps that recording in a safe in a bank.

 

And by the way, thanks for your work and effort on that website. It's really a great resource for every Celine fan!

Oh, I believe they are the lyrics. I just think they’re crap lol.

Thank you! That's why we love working on our site!

Hahaha yeah they ain't a masterpiece...but I would love to hear it, and those demo's with adlips... Céline's tone was wonderful at that time!

 

After we did "Stay". I kept on composing and we made many demos (Seven I recall) and Céline recorded them, just singing da-ba-da (without words)

So she visited me many times and we recorded on my small studio. Those recordings are also in the bank.

Let me point out that I dont wanna sell them. At the same time I can't throw them in the garbage can I ?

(Laughs)

So I put them in a safe in a bank, for history, with the song Stay.

So its demo's plus a final recording of the song "Fais Ce Que Tu Voudras" in English (which is a finished production).

[ryba]

So he says

I totally respect his decision to keep these recordings safe, but on the other hand what is the point of having such amazing stuff and keeping it away from the world? Maybe one day Sony will approach him and they will be willing to release these songs on a rarities album. Celine must have a ton of unreleased songs that are just laying around in some vaults. I’m sure she could fill multiple albums with them. However, when that time comes, I wonder if people will be interested in them at all, maybe only a handful of faithful old fans, but certainly not the general public. The main interest is now, and they are neglecting it.

I think he could get in big trouble if he releases it... a lawsuit at the minimum...

 

Barbra Streisand released two albums with rare stuff only, never released before... And she's still alive...

But that decision has to come from the record company I think...

But also the artist self too... I think it was Barbra's idea to release these songs. Céline hardly ever looked back, she is always looking forward. Maybe that will change now though

The question is does Celine remembers any of this unreleased songs

[BartFCS]

The question is does Celine remembers any of this unreleased songs

I highly doubt it. Although I bet she might remember recording The Winner Takes It All since it’s such a big song. It must sound amazing…

Owww this was in one of the interviews around EUS I think, where they let her hear a song that she recorded in the early 80s. And she said something like, whenever I record a song, I leave a piece of my soul in it, and it becomes part of me. However, I don't remember this one'. Which of course isn't strange, I think she recorded over a 1000 songs/demo's by now. If you only sing it once, and it doesn't become part of your album, you probably forget about it.

 

I highly doubt it. Although I bet she might remember recording The Winner Takes It All since it's such a big song. It must sound amazing…

 

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!! I would LOVE to hear her version of this song!! I remember those DAT tapes were for sale on Ebay.

For real? She recorded The Winner Takes It All? Whaaaaaat? This should be reopen and someone might already bought it who is also a Céline fan

Did anyone read the book, Celine Beyond The Image? I just got it and at page 52, the author and photographer claims Celine recorded We Wish You A Merry Christmas and even has a whole story about Celine changing we to “i”!

I wonder if that’s one of those unreleased David Foster Christmas songs?

[CourageProject]

Probably talking about Feliz Navidad.

I think he talks about “Feliz Navidad”. If I’m not wrong, he was present at the studio during the recording session.

Here’s a snippet of an unreleased song from a 20 second trailer I snagged from Twitter months ago. I’ve been waiting to post this for awhile, I finally got accepted into the community!

Hmm I can't really figure out if that's Céline's voice.

[ryba]

That’s not Celine singing

Finally we get to hear good few vocal bits from Love Is Alive in this unexpected and unique funky-soul mashup!

It’s a cute mix. Enjoyable to listen to. But Celine’s vocals are so distorted to fit the style of what this guy is going, that I can’t really enjoy that it’s Celine.

I hear you. When you listen to original snippets posted years ago it’s obvious that in this mashup her vocal was altered few semitones down hence that distinction distortion. However IMHO it perfectly suits the style , the song and the production. I find it very well crafted both audio and visuals it literally feels to me as if like were really all together in that studio recording and having fun 🎙️🎥

 

Anyways, I’m grateful for what we got for now and maybe one day we’ll hear LIA in original key in its full glory 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Interesting story of an unreleased, well unrealized jazz song by Céline herself! Apparently she sang and improvises the lines she made up herself in the answering machine of Phil Spector. Damn you early 90's technology for only allowing a recording of only 1 minute!!

 

CELINE DION Unreleased Songwriter Jazz Vignettes Compilation Tape Phil Spector

 

UNRELEASED Celine Dion SINGING SONGWRITING Jazz SAMPLES Compilation Tape

Unreleased Singing Songwriter Samples Compilation Tape Phil Spector

 

This has to be one of the most unusual Celine Dion vocal media tapes of all time. This one of a kind cassette tape actually contains contains two vingettes of about one minute each of Celine Dion singing acapella ideas for her own jazz song.

 

These vignettes were recorded by Celine Dion on the answering machine of producer Phil Spector circa 1995 at Spector's personal request. There were two short separate vocal performances that Celine Dion recorded on Spector's answering machine that wound up as part of this compilation phone message cassette tape that contains both phone messages and music that were probably transferred to this cassette tape circa 1995 in order for Spector to easily review his phone messages.

 

 

There are a total of three messages on this compilation tape that are Celine Dion related. Apparently sometime shortly after the initial contact between Spector, Celine and her husband Rene all three of them got together in person. In the first message Rene is thanking Spector for a note from Spector requesting that Celine call him and share "lines" from a song that Celine was working on vocally and sang in Spector's presence. Rene says in his message to Spector that Celine knows what "lines" Spector is referring to and that Celine will get back to Spector. Rene's message to Spector is about one minute long.

 

 

The second message (which I think happens shortly after Rene's call) is from Celine. Celine thanks Spector for remembering her song and sings the lines she remembers and scats some lines in the song that she had apparently not yet written. She sings for about a minute and a few seconds and then the machine cuts her off.

 

 

The third and last message that is Celine related is from Celine herself to Spector. She laughs and says that "I wasn't finished" and then proceeds to sing and scat the same song that she is not yet finished writing for another 40 seconds.

 

 

The style and manner that Celine Dion sings this unfinished song in is intimate, soft and jazz influenced. It is a more personal tone and reminds me of the handful of songs that Celine Dion would go on to sing under Spector's production in the following year. This more personal tone is the style that Spector led Dion into in the Ocean Sky Recording Studio sessions that they did together in 1995.

 

 

This whole phone message compilation tape that the Celine singing is on is a combination tape of professional and personal phone messages recorded by Spector's recording device from numerous individuals including Spector's executive assistant, his daughter, his sister, various friends and girlfriends. There is also on the tape an assortment of songs from the Philles Records catalogue. that Phil Spector's executive and personal assistant put together for Spector's pleasure and amusement. The songs include tracks from the Teddy Bears, the Crystals and Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans.

 

 

However the most important messages on this tape are the recorded messages that Phil got from both Rene Angelil and Celine Dion in the year of probably 1995. These messages were recorded some time before Spector and Celine Dion would start recording together at Ocean Sky Recording Studios. Somehow the tone of Celine Dion's unfinished and unreleased acapella song set the emotional stage for the songs that Spector would select for Dion to record at Ocean Sky Recording Studios.

 

 

The rarity of this compilation cassette tape cannot be overstated. In the office world of Phil Spector International, there would be little need to have a duplicate compilation message tape since Spector would need only one tape to review. The studio production tapes that were created later to document and review the studio recording sessions with Celine Dion were more numerous mostly because there were numerous recording sessions. Even then judging from the small number of tapes that I discovered I would estimate that the number of cassette and DAT production tapes from the Dion / Spector recording sessions was probably less than twenty total. However this is in essence an inter office production tape created for Spector to hear his messages for convenience sake.

 

I suspect that in order to please Spector and to break up the monotony of listening to phone message after phone message, some music from the Phil Spector catalog was inserted on the tape.

The tape itself was in fact a sample promo cassette tape that originally ABKCO produced as a review tape of one of the Spector box anthologies that Spector was producing in 1991. Some of the music on this tape might have been from the original 1991 usage. It would not have mattered much to the office manager at Phil Spector Records, any decent tape would have been fine for a phone message compilation tape which is what this is.

 

In any case, the three messages that are Celine Dion related that probably exist only on this tape. The unreleased acapella jazz influenced Celine vignettes are make this unreleased phone message tape historic. Now this tape is also historic in part because of some of the other Spector related messages that are on it but the primary reasons that this tape is so important are the three Celine Dion related messages that are on it, and especially the unusual vocalizations of Celine Dion.

 

At some point in the near future I will post a sonic file for this tape with sufficient information to prove the authenticity of this tape. There will be no returns on this item to prevent fraudulent copying of the tape.

 

From the personal collection of a former record company executive who worked for both Apple Records and Phil Spector Productions.

interesting read. Hopefully we can hear this tape one day. Thanks for sharing.

[Celine Fan 77]

Wow! Unexpected, this is really interesting.

[jpatdeleon09]

I wonder if they still have the intention to release this song “Play Me Like A Love Song”…… or it will be part for the next English Album? Or in the vault? Waiting for someone can get it and sell it on eBay for $10,000
