She Moved Him to Tears
The story goes that, when Céline and René met, he handed her a pencil and asked her to pretend it was a microphone. He told the young Céline that she was to imagine she was singing to a sold-out crowd, and her resulting performance was so moving for René that he began to cry. René was absolutely sold on Céline’s talent, and felt he had to do whatever he could to ensure that she became a success.

An Incredible Bunch of Relatives
The image below shows a number of women, all very talented in their own right, who are related to Céline. Zacharie Cloutier left France in 1634 for North America, as he wanted to make a better life for himself. Céline is related to him, and Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Shania Twain and Beyoncé, to name a few, are apparently all able to prove that they are descended from him, as well. Cloutier was one of the original Frenchmen to live in the New World, and must have had quite a large family.
