The Best of Celine Dion & David Foster is a compilation album by Canadian singer Celine Dion, released by Columbia Records in selected Asian countries on 19 October 2012. It includes songs produced by Grammy Award-winning Canadian record producer, composer, arranger, and musician David Foster, as well as a previously unreleased duet with Elvis Presley on "If I Can Dream".
Content This Asia-exclusive release marks 20 years of collaboration between Celine Dion and David Foster. The album was issued in countries such as the Philippines, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand, South Korea, and China. It includes well-known songs such as "Because You Loved Me," "The Power of Love," "All by Myself," "Tell Him" (a duet with Barbra Streisand), and "To Love You More," along with the previously unreleased duet with Elvis Presley on "If I Can Dream".
The duet with Presley was created for Idol Gives Back, and Dion performed it with him on American Idol on 25 April 2007 using rotoscoping technology. The compilation also includes duets with Andrea Bocelli, Frank Sinatra, Luciano Pavarotti, and Clive Griffin. Three songs featured on the album were used in films: "Because You Loved Me" in Up Close & Personal, "When I Fall in Love" in Sleepless in Seattle, and "The Prayer" in Quest for Camelot. However, the album does not include any tracks from Unison (1990), for which Foster produced five songs.
The cover photograph was taken during an exclusive session with Dion and Foster at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in October 2005. The shoot was conducted by photographer Jerry Metellus for NUVO magazine.
