THE ALBUM
"Du Soleil Au Cœur" (meaning "Sunshine In The Heart") is a French compilation album by Celine Dion, released in France in October 1983. It´s her 5th French album and 1st released in France.
...> About The Album
The album is a compilation of songs from Celine´s previous two Canadian albums: "Tellement J´ai D´amour..." and "Les Chemins De Ma Maison". It was released thanks to "D´amour ou d´amitié" success in France (number 10 on the singles chart). "Mon ami m´a quittée" was the follow-up single. "Du Soleil Au Cœur" included an extended version of "Ne me plaignez pas" and one new song, called "À quatre pas d´ici" (French adaptation of Bucks Fizz´s UK number 1 hit "The land of make believe"). The latter was originally written by Andy Hill and Peter Sinfield. Both of them worked with Celine again in 1993 ("Think twice") and 1996 ("Call the man"). The Canadian fans could find "À quatre pas d´ici" on Celine´s Christmas album "Chants Et Contes De Noël", released in November 1983. "Du Soleil Au Cœur" has sold 50,000 copies. On April 4, 2002, after nineteen years "Du Soleil Au Cœur" was re-released in France on a CD, including five bonus tracks. On May 16, 2008 it was also released in Switzerland.
