When "The Power of Love" hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on February 12th 1994, it became Celine's first hit single in the United States. "The Power of Love" was composed by Jennifer Rush and Mary Susan Applegate and was first recorded by Air Supply who entitled the song "The Power of Love (You Are My Lady)". Before it's initial release by Air Supply, German producers Gunter Mende and Candy DeRouge urged Jennifer Rush to record her own version, which would be released in June 1985, one month prior to Air Supply's version. Rush's version became an enormous success becoming a #1 hit in many European countries as well as in Canada and Australia. In the early 90s, CBS (Sony) asked David Foster to produce a new version of the song. Foster instantly thought of Celine and proposed a new musical arrangement focusing on the strength of Celine's voice with minimal instrumentals (keyboard and guitar). After 12 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the song hit #1 and stayed there for 4 weeks. "The Power of Love" remained Celine's signature song until the release of "My Heart Will Go On" and she continues to sing it in every concert she performs.
