Content
Tellement j'ai d'amour... includes nine songs, mainly co-written by Eddy Marnay, and co-produced by Marnay and René Angélil. It also features "Le piano fantôme" written by Luc Plamondon, Dion's later collaborator, and "La voix du bon Dieu", the title track from her debut album, re-recorded this time with the entire Dion family on background vocals. The song Tellement j'ai d'amour pour toi was initially recorded by French songstress Nicole Croisille as Je t'aime un point c'est tout, with a different lyric by Eddy Marnay, for her 1974 album Partir. Despite being presented for the Eurovision Song Contest 1974 selections, Croisille's recording was shelved by her then manager Claude Pascal and remains unreleased to this day.
