Rene Burst Into Tears
The audition had been emotional for both people involved. Celine even said that he had tears in his eyes when she started singing, so she knew that she did a stellar job. Rene signed her right away because he could tell she was going to be famous. Despite this, he was aware that she was a young girl and had to put in the work before she could launch her career.
High Stakes Gambler
Rene was sure that Celine Dion was going to be a legend. He was known for being a gambler, but it’s still pretty out there to get a mortgage on his house to ensure she had enough funding for her first album. Luckily, this risk was worth it. In 1981, she released her first single and became a big star!
