Rene Burst Into Tears
The audition had been an emotional affair. Celine began to sing at once, and she brought Rene to tears! She knew that it meant he liked what he heard. Rene then signed her since he could tell that she would be a big star. However, she was still such a young girl and needed to work before her career could take off. He had a vision for her and was willing to do everything to make it a reality.
High Stakes Gambler
Rene knew that Celine was a superstar in the making. He even got a mortgage on his house to secure funding for her first album. This decision paid off in the end since her first single climbed the charts of Canada in 1981. Rene had a reputation for being a gambler, but it proved to be a useful skill in the end.
