La voix du bon Dieu

At age 12, Dion co-wrote her first song, "Ce n'était qu'un rêve", with her mother and brother Jacques. A demo recording was sent to music manager René Angélil, who was impressed by Dion's vocal maturity and emotional delivery. Determined to launch her career, Angélil mortgaged his home to finance the production of her first album. La voix du bon Dieu includes original material written for Dion, along with three covers of well-known French songs: Renée Lebas's "Tire l'aiguille", Berthe Sylva's "Les roses blanches", and "L'amour viendra", a French adaptation of Dario Baldan Bembo's "Dolce fiore". Recording sessions took place in Boucherville and Longueuil, both located in the province of Quebec, Canada, where Dion worked closely with Eddy Marnay, one of France's most respected lyricists. == Commercial performance ==

Supported by Dion's debut single "Ce n'était qu'un rêve", the album sold over 100,000 copies in Quebec. Its popularity led to a 1983 reissue by Saisons. == Accolades ==
