” “With This Tear” is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard or felt… Thank you for the honor”; Celine expressed these words of thanks to Prince on the 1992 album ‘Celine Dion’.

The single “Beauty and the Beast” was released four months prior to the release of the album ‘Celine Dion’ and it became an instant hit. The word is that  it’s after hearing this legendary movie theme on the radio that Prince wanted to write a song for Celine.

“With This Tear” is one of the last songs recorded for the album ‘Celine Dion’ stealing a spot on the album which was originally reserved for “Calling You” from the film ‘Bagdad Cafe’, which Celine regularly sang in concert at the time.

Celine recorded “With This Tear” at the Studio Morin Heights on René’s 50th birthday, January 16, 1992.
