Celine Dion, a Canadian singer, was born in Charlemagne, Quebec, in 1968.
Celine Dion was born on March 30, 1968, in Charlemagne, Québec, a small hamlet 50 kilometres northwest of Montréal. Thérèse Tanguay and Adhémar Dion had 14 children. The Dions were a simple family with meagre finances, but they never lacked affection. Celine's mother had to put her youngest kid to sleep in a drawer since the house was so crowded. She penned her first song, "Ce n'est qu'un rêve," when she was 12 years old, with the support of her mother and brother Jacques. But that was most emphatically not a dream! And, due to her mother, that dream was beginning to come true.
