When Celine Dion and Joe Walsh performed together in 2008 as part of Dion’s live television special (titled ‘Celine Dion: That’s Just The Woman In Me’), they certainly made an unlikely pairing. Celine Dion is a Canadian songstress known primarily for beautiful, heartbreaking ballads including ‘My Heart Will Go On’ and ‘Think Twice’, whereas Joe Walsh is a prolific multi-instrumentalist best known for his guitar work with the rock band The Eagles. In short, the two could not have been more different.
In the end, however, the pair proved to be a match made in heaven, delivering an astoundingly delicate version of the George Harrison-penned track ‘Something’, which was released by The Beatles as a double A-side in 1969. Dressed in stunning thigh-high black boots and a feathery white dress, Celine looked almost angelic as she sang with effortless elegance, lending a sense of femininity to the track and, in doing so, channeling previous versions by female singers including Shirley Bassey.
