Genre: Pop Style: Ballad, Vocal Year: 1997 Video Source: Apple Music Audio Source: Qobuz "Tell Him" is a song written by Linda Thompson and producers Walter Afanasieff and David Foster. It was recorded as a duet between American singer Barbra Streisand and Canadian singer Celine Dion for their respective 1997 albums, Higher Ground and Let's Talk About Love, and released as the lead single from these albums on November 3, 1997 by both Columbia Records and Epic Records. The song became a top-10 commercial success across Europe and Australia. It was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals at the 40th Annual Grammy Awards. Later, "Tell Him" was included on both singers' greatest hits albums: Streisand's The Essential (2002), Duets (2002), and The Ultimate Collection (2010), and Dion's The Collector's Series, Volume One (2000), My Love: Essential Collection (2008), and The Best of Celine Dion & David Foster (2012). On March 24, 1997, Dion became the first artist to perform twice on the same Academy Awards night. In addition to singing "Because You Loved Me," she also sang "I Finally Found Someone" from the film The Mirror Has Two Faces, recorded by Barbra Streisand and Bryan Adams. Streisand chose not to perform that night, and Natalie Cole had been scheduled to sing the song instead. When Cole withdrew two days before the ceremony, Dion was asked to step in. Although nervous, she accepted and performed on the night. A few days later, Streisand sent Dion flowers and a note: "I watched the tape afterwards, you sang my song beautifully and I regret I wasn't in the room to hear you, next time let's make one together. I really wish your song would have won, you are a wonderful singer". Dion replied, and René Angélil contacted David Foster to write a song for them, which resulted in "Tell Him". Dion, who cited Streisand as one of her most important idols, had long hoped to sing with her but feared getting too close, explaining, "It takes practically nothing to destroy your image of them. And just as little to crush you". Streisand was first introduced to Dion's music several years earlier by tennis player Andre Agassi. The radio version of the song appears only on the single's releases as the opening track. It runs the same length as the album version and features an electric guitar riff at the start of Dion's bridge. On October 7, 1997, "Tell Him" received its first United States radio play. The single was originally scheduled for a US retail release on November 4, 1997, but this plan was canceled despite copies already having been manufactured. Theda Sandiford-Waller of Billboard attributed the decision to the track's weak performance at top 40 radio. The music video for the song was directed by American producer and director Scott Lochmus and premiered on VH1 on October 24, 1997. It was later included as a bonus on the Au cœur du stade DVD.
