Rene Burst Into Tears
The audition was extremely emotional. Celine stated when she was singing, Rene actually started to cry and that was when she knew she did a good job. Rene immediately signed her and knew she would be famous. He also knew she was young and she had to put some work in before she began her career. Rene had a vision and he wanted it to be perfect.

Rene knew with Celine he had a superstar. He actually mortgaged his house so he could make sure her first album had enough funding. All his hard work paid off and her first single in 1981 hit the top of the charts in Canada. Rene is actually a known gambler, and this was a huge risk, but it paid off!
