Celine Dion - All By Myself

One of the more notable cover versions of "All by Myself" was recorded by Céline Dion in 1996. It was the fourth (or third, depending on the country) hit single from her album Falling into You, and is arguably one of Dion's most powerful vocal performances.[3] It was released on October 7, 1996 in Europe, January 13, 1997 in Australia, and March 11, 1997 in North America.
There were three music videos made. The first one was released in October 1996. It contains fragments from Dion's photo session for the Falling into You album cover and some scenes from her Live à Paris concert. It was made for the single version. The second version was made for the UK market with the same white t-shirt scenes but adding footage of a young couple in love at Christmas time, instead of scenes from Dion's concert. This was made for the album version. Finally, a live music video was released in March 1997 in North America (from the 1996 concert in Montreal).
Céline Dion performed this song many times during her world tours, TV shows and many important music events, including: Grammy Awards (1997), Billboard Music Awards (1997) and Bambi Awards (1996). Lately, she performed it during her 2008-09 Taking Chances Tour.
Dion recorded also a Spanish version of "All by Myself," called "Sola Otra Vez." It was added to the Falling into You Latin American/Spanish edition, and as a B-side to other singles from that album. This version became available worldwide on Dion's later compilation The Collector's Series, Volume One. A music video was made for "Sola Otra Vez" similar to "All by Myself."
The single became one of Dion's biggest hits in the United States, reaching number 1 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks (for three weeks) and Hot Latin Pop Airplay (two weeks). It peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 (number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay and number 5 on the Hot 100 Singles Sales). It was also a top 10 hit in France, United Kingdom, Belgium Wallonia and Ireland. In Canada, "All by Myself" was released as a promotional single only, hitting number 1 on the Adult Contemporary Chart. "All by Myself" was certified gold in the U.S. (500,000), and silver in the UK (200,000) and France (165,000).
The track was included on selected editions of Dion's greatest hits All the Way A Decade of Song in 1999 and on My Love: Essential Collection in 2008. [info courtesy: wikipedia.org]
