"Love Can Move Mountains" - Celine Dion
from the album Celine Dion (1992)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #36 (two weeks)
Weeks in the Top-40: 3

Today's song of the day comes from Canadian singer Celine Dion, whose self-titled second English-language album had already spun off three pop hits in America with "Nothing Broken But My Heart", and two top ten singles in "If You Asked Me To" and "Beauty And The Beast" (from the same-titled Disney film). The fourth release from the record would be her most club-friendly offering to date, with "Love Can Move Mountains". Written by song doctor supreme Diane Warren and produced by Ric Wake, who handled Taylor Dayne's albums, the song grooved on a house music bassline with a choir of backup singers to almost make this a religious experience...

"Love Can Move Mountains" became the fourth top-40 pop hit from Celine Dion in the U.S. in January of 1993. The single climbed to #8 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary (or "easy listening") radio format chart. Because of the dance remixes of the track, it would be first to reach the Dance Club Play chart, peaking at #5. Internationally, the single spent two weeks at #2 in Canada, while it just missed the top-40 in the UK at #46.

A fifth single from the album, the ballad "Water From The Moon", missed the main pop chart in the U.S., but climbed to #11 on the Adult Contemporary radio chart, and got to #7 in Canada. That was followed by "Did You Give Enough Love", which had a lite new jack swing vibe, and scaled to #17 in Canada.
