La voix du bon Dieu (transl. "good lord's voice") is the debut studio album by Canadian singer Celine Dion. It was released in Quebec, Canada on 6 November 1981, through Super Étoiles and distributed by Trans-Canada Disques. The songs were produced by René Angélil, Eddy Marnay, and Daniel Hétu. The album includes Dion's debut single, "Ce n'était qu'un rêve", which peaked at number eight on the chart in Quebec.

Background and conception

At age 12, Dion collaborated with her mother and brother Jacques to write and compose her first song, "Ce n'était qu'un rêve".[1] They sent the recording to music manager René Angélil.[2] He was moved by Dion's voice and decided to work with her.[2] In 1981, Angélil mortgaged his home to fund Dion's first album.[2] La voix du bon Dieu, released on 6 November 1981, includes songs produced by Angélil, Eddy Marnay, and Daniel Hétu. In addition to the new songs, the album includes three covers: Renée Lebas' "Tire l'aiguille", Berthe Sylva's "Les roses blanches", and "L'amour viendra", a French version of Dario Baldan Bembo's "Dolce fiore".[3] La voix du bon Dieu has sold over 100,000 copies in Quebec, Canada.[4] In 1982, Dion was nominated for Newcomer of the Year at the Félix Awards.[5]
