Céline Dion sings "Memory" from the wellknown "Cats" in 1987. (It's a bliss this excellent performance was saved in such a good audio and video quality!)

The then 19yearold future star showed up to the popular TV show, 'L’autobus du Show Business' and though she couldn’t speak a word of English at the time, she still managed to memorize English songs simply by the phonetical sounds of each word. And when you see her heartbreaking performance with the knowledge that she doesn’t even understand exactly what she’s saying, it makes it even more powerful.

Dressed up as the beautiful Grizabella from the megapopular Broadway hit, Céline Dion manages to tell the whole story while completely nailing the difficult vocals of this intense song.
