To a québec outsider it is easy to to believe that it would be an honor for Mrs.Reno to sing with Céline but to us quebec people we know for a fact that the honor is for Céline to have the privige to dhare a stage and sing with Ginette!!! 😉

You're so right.

The man standing next to Celine Dion is Jean-Pierre Ferland. He's one of the best song writer and iconis signer in the history of music in Quebec. He just died yesterday at the age of 89 after a career of 70 years long. Ginette Reno is one of the most powerful voice and always had that voice even when she was younger. Both Jean-Pierre and Ginette's are the soul of the Quebec music industry. RIP Le petit roi

@@isabelleeaton2666 Imagine if he reacted to the 1975 version by Ginette alone... She's not worse today, but there is, somehow, even more emotion in that one, cause she was feeling it from deep within. It was raw. She's doing a fantastical job renewing the experience every time since, but it's just reenacting, rather than feeling.

René Angelil, Céline's late husband, was Ginette Reno's manager before he found Céline. He told Ginette he would make her an international star. She said no, she couldn't speak English well enough. Then René found Céline. They were almost never seen together (Ginette and Céline), nevermind in a performance. This concert was in honour of Québec City's 400th anniversary and aimed to celebrate Québec's unique cultural heritage. Jean-Pierre Ferland wrote and recorded the song, Ginette covered it later and made it famous, then Céline immortalized it in this concert, played on the very field where France lost its footing in North America to the British, in the battle of the Plaines d'Abraham. It's emotionally loaded to say the least.

Funny when he says : "There she is, the legend" when Céline comes in.... lol. To us québécois, Ginette is the legend 😜

It's the other way around.... it's Celine who is grateful to be singing with Ginette! Ginette Reno is a STAR! Ginette Reno IS THE GREATEST SIGNER in QUÉBEC... in CANADA and probably in the whole WORLD 🌎 😊❤❤❤

Jean-Pierre Ferland is the author of that song . Member of music Hall of Fame in Canada since 2003. That song became popular IN Province of Québec in 1969 or around when Ginette Reno sang it. The show you saw happened in 2008 : 400th anniversary of the City of Québec. That was a gift of Céline to the peop;e of Québec who were behind her at the beginning of her career. 😉😃🖖 At the beginning of her career, Céline didn't know a word in english, she was singing only in french and was and still is very popular in our province. By the way, now you deeply know that even if you don't know a word of french you can be touched deep in your soul by such a voice. There is still hope for Humanity. Thank you very much indeed for your reaction to that masterpiece.

Tout les Québecois apprécient beaucoup cette vidéo ! Merci pour avoir faire preuve de respect envers nos trésors nationaux, soyez gentil les uns envers les autres ❤

Like a lot of people said before me, Ginette is a legend in Québec, but she is also the most humble, funniest and down to earth woman you can find. I have two stories for you. First, her son owns a restaurant in my hometown and last year around Christmas time, we couldn't eat at restaurants but some delivered and her son's did. Well, believe or not, she actually delivered food to people's homes to cheer them up during the lockdown and sing Christmas songs (she had a Christmas album in the 70s), I was so bummed i hadn't ordered that day!!! The other is a story she told on a tv show. She said everytime she went to America, she would find record stores where you could walk in and record yourself. And since nobody knew her, she'd be like "Where do I stand" "Should I be closer", you know, act like she was very nervous and didn't know music at all. She said she would pick songs that were hard to sing, like "People" from Barbra Streisand, just to see the look on the guy's face, like "Oh, boy, this is gonna be good"... Then she'd start to sing and the guy in the studio would look at her, totally shocked, walk out and call out "Bob, get in here, you gotta hear this!!!" She really got a kick out of doing that. You gotta love her, she's one of a kind!!!

Le plus grand moment de l'histoire de la musique aux Québec

It is so satisfying to see someone experiencing the torrent of Ginette’s voice for the first time. You really moved me. I don’t know if you knew but this was the last song of a special concert to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Quebec City. For the occasion, Céline Dion invited many Quebec artists to perform along with her, culminating with Quebec’s Diva Ginette Reno. The first signer is Jean-Pierre Ferland, the composer and writer of this song.

So basically this is how it goes… when you don’t understand french you will feel it inside and you will get some tears. When you understand french…. Then please monitor your blood pressure and heart rate while watching this you cant stop crying of joy, of sadness, of compassion. Its complete madness. I fortunately or unfortunately (according to my heart doctor) understand french;).

I was there live when this video of Celine and Ginette was recorded. In Quebec Ginette is very popular and loved, the vibe when we saw her, it was a complete surprise for the audience. I still remember people crying, that was a PERFECT moment. I feel blessed that I could witness that and living the moment. Still have chills even after all this time. Thank you for your genuine reaction! Bless you!

Celine was trying hard to keep her composure the whole time, I would too honestly if I would sing with my chilhood idol. At the end Ginette the Queen was all smile and took time to comfort Celine the princess who was weeping like a child. Priceless, raw emotion. Ginette filled everyone's cup that evening and everybody's cup watching this piece of anthology.

Ginette Reno was a HUGE star in Canada, and mostly in French Canada. In the hearts of many, she still is.

I'm so glad this video was in my recommendations. What a gift. When you say you don't know what she's saying, you actually know EXACTLY what she's singing. The song title in English is "A little Higher, A little Further" and is about the journey of life, in whatever way we each interpret that journey. You say at 13:30 "sometimes you see something or you hear something and you're reminded that THERE IS BEAUTY." The lyrics she belts at the crescendo of the orchestral melody are: "C'est beau!" which literally means "it's beautiful!". You understood her completely. This is the power of art. Thank you for posting about one of the truly great live performances in modern times. In Canada, Ginette Reno, Jean Pierre Ferland [he wrote the song] and Céline Dion are three of our most treasured natural resources.

Ginette Reno is amazing. Jean-Pierre Ferland wrote the song in the 70's and Ginette performed it in Montréal for Quebec's national day in 1975.

What your watching is not Celine sharing her spotlight. It’s Celine paying respect to a legend, an icon, way bigger than herself and she knows it. 😉

Ginette Reno here in Quebec is like a member of every family. We just love her. She always have been so generous and sincere throughout her career. She is a part of who we are. She live, love and sing with all her heart! When she sings, she gives everything. It’s great the way you received it!

Ginette is a legend in Quebec. Rene Angelil was her manager but she dumped him. One reason was she didn't want an international career, Rene did. She could have. Her choice though. Celine got emotional because Ginette was her family's favourite singer. Because of her career, Celine started hers, with Rene. Therefore her career, her marriage, her son, is all stemming from Ginette. She still has amazing pipes lol. The whole concert was great, the celebrations for Quebec were great.

Ginette Reno is a Quebec national treasure. She was managed by René Angélil, who became Céline's manager and eventual husband. I do believe Ginette was poised to become the first international break out singing sensation from the province of Quebec (she did appear on Johnny Carson), but she chose not to pursue. She is a colossal voice and talent.

To be fair, there was Alys Robi (Alice Robitaille), who was the first real international star from Quebec, but after her mental health problems, she got practically forgotten, lost for a generation or two. It's only recently, with the TV series about her life, that we rediscovered her. That being said, Ginette is right there too. Quebec gave birth to some incredible talents, and I have no doubts there will be more.

Celine saw an angel that night and hug it in her arms

Ginette is LEGEND! As someone said below, Ginette's voice GUTS me! The artist is AMAZING! Truly when you hear Ginette, especially when you add Ms. Dion in the mix. Sometime truly, You See God! This is absolutely one o those moments.

Oui, une grande dame qui a toujours chanter avec ses tripes et en spectacle, elle donne tout.

I cry everytime I watch it

It's normal tearing up when Ginette Reno is singing, you're not the first one reacting like that. She's one of the best voice in the world even if she never done an international career. And Jean-Pierre Ferland is the songwriter. He never had a super beautiful voice, and now with the age it's worst but the lyrics of his song are beautiful. This particular song, Un peu plus haut, un peu plus loin, join the Canadian songwriters Hall of fame in 2003.

The guy performing with Celine, Jean Pierre Ferland, wrote the song, and a few singers have performed it. But once Ginette performed the song it kind of became her's. Her performance was the most emotional and powerful and always remained such, as you can see. She always had, not only a powerful expressive voice, but a powerful presence and projection as well. Un Peu Plus Haut is HER song that she performed for decades. She will always embody the story and emotion of the lyrics every time she performs it. That is exactly what can be felt. But additionally the crowd's reaction... I mean even Celine was overwhelmed and she filled stadiums. Ginette Reno was always a role model for Celine. Celine adores her.

When you don't understand a word a singer sings but that the singer makes the emotion passes through, you understand she is one of the greatest and in Quebec Ginette is! ;) Love your reaction

Celine doesn’t require your heart. She has the heart of her fans

So right when you said "She is at a place she could have been if ...maybe where she always wanted to be". Good insight here.

To my knowledge, Celine and Ginette never sang together before that concert. This would explain the emotions and Celine crying after their performance.

Here in Quebec, we have a great queen, GINETTE RENO and two magnificent princesses, CÉLINE DION AND LARA FABIAN. We are privileged to have these THREE GREAT LADIES OF THE SONG.

I watched an interview of Ginette Reno a little while back, and I don't remember the story exactly, but I think her parents already had 2 kids but something at the time was making it unlikely they would be able to have more. Ginette's mother couldn't accept that, and she prayed for, not only 'another' child, but a child that would have something special... Well, Ginette was born, and I think everyone in Québec (and beyond! ;) ) agrees that she is indeed very special... ;) For the rest, I do believe that her voice keeps getting better with age (more 'textured', 'rounder' somehow), but the power and emotion were always there. It's like she can't help it: she opens her mouth and the intensity hits you in the face. ;)

I don't know if anyone has answered your question about who the man is. That was Jean-Pierre Ferland, a famous Quebec singer-songwriter. He wrote the song in the late 1960s. Ginette performed it in the mid-1970s and it's been *her* song ever since. In Quebec, Ginette is a national legend. The gratitude you feel on that stage wasn't hers. It was Celine's. Celine's manager/husband had to jump through a lot of hoops to get Ginette to agree to show up that night. Ginette's relationship with him had not ended well. Imagine being as famous as Celine is and the one thing you can't have is to be able to sing with your lifelong idol. And, finally, Ginette said yes. It happened.

she is very famous here in quebec .. & seeing people react like this in other parts of the world makes us even more proud to have her x

Jean-Pierre Ferland, the man who sings with Céline at the beginning, is the song's writer. He wrote that song in 1969.

The guy who sing at the beginning is the composer of the song, Ginette Reno made this song very famous and Celine wanted to do a duet with this great French Canadian singer.

It's totaly normal to have tears after that my friend.

Ginette Reno actually attended The Actors Studio in the 70s.. she dallied with acting... that might be part of her performance.. she studied acting.. also French chanson always had a bit of acting in it...

My aunt can be seen sobbing in the audience at some point hahaha Can't blame her, I'm just sitting in my living room and I'm sobbing

Don't be ashamed! Ginette can make anyone cry! I count no more how much time i watched this performance that i randomly discovered. She has no equal when you talk about emotions!

Ginette Reno one of our best performer in Quebec . You should hear l'essentiel one of her song marvelous. prepare tissus again . .

Everything ginette sing all your hair on your body stood up..and you get shiver..get emotional we call her ginette national she is so good

The first singer is the author of this song. The song somehow makes allusion to dying and leaving and seeing things from above . That's why it feels emotional.

What is hitting you is just Ginette... that's the tone, vibrato everything is pure emotion.... Celine is right there with you crying and trying to keep it together on stage.

Ginette Reno always had that kind of voice ❤

This was a moment in time.

Céline and Ginette are both our musical treasures here in Québec. Ginette dropped René at one point as her manager, (she wasn't interested in an international career), just before Céline showed up in his life. Kind of a fate thing, isn't it? When Ginette sings she gets you in your guts as much as Céline can. Later on, Lara Fabian established herself and build her professionnal career early on here in the province of Québec also. We embrace emotional powerhouse voices for the world to enjoy. Those three women can make you cry, vibrate your soul, out of their pure God given talent.

The singer at the beginning is the author of the song, Jean-Pierre Ferland. Another icon singer in the province of Québec (French Canada). He wrote the song for his own album in 1969. Ginette Reno sang the song on a special show event that celebrated Quebec national day (St-Jean-Baptiste day) on Mount-Royal (a mountain in the heart of the city of Montreal). After that iconic performance from Ginette, the song kind of became hers. Ginette has 60+ album in her career. (Includes 40 studio albums). Whenever she release an album, she top the charts for French artist in Canada.

I just saw your very genuine reaction to this MOMENT IN TIME of a performance. You have the gist of the story where René Angelil was Ginette's manager and she "fired" him. Leaving him without a big name talent he was contemplating going back to school when this new talent presented itself. As for this event... it was part of a series a huge free concerts organized by the city of Québec for it's 400th anniversary. back in 2007. This concert was the "cherry" of the concert with Céline ( arguably the most famous Québecoise) headlining and with a series of French Canadian stars. The concert was a celebration of home grown talents and Céline was a Ring leader of sorts. A guest would come out... they would sing songs they are famous for and Céline would harmonize and they would sing some her songs... it was a real WHO's WHO of Québécois talent. Ginette was the last Special guest and the CHERRY on top of the CHERRY! She is adored in Québec ( you can see and hear why) and the mutual respect Céline and Ginette have for one another is clear. On a technical note... Céline had 2 days to rehearse all of these "duets" often less than 1 hours per special guest... and you talked about "when you are that famous...." well the UNDIVA sang the songs in keys that would favour the guests not her ( you can hear a key change once Ginette started to sing) I have said this often... Céline is a musician at heart ... whether you like the voice or not, the musical selections or not... you cannot deny that she is a great musician and her voice ( a very supple and power voice) is her instrument. She love sharing music with others and this concert what such proof. Seeing Ginette coming down those stairs ( and Céline running up to help ) made me cry and THEN they sang!!!!! It is like the Queen and the Princess were reunited. It really was a MOMENT IN TIME for most French Canadian who saw this.... I hope you get to listen to more of Céline, you will find she is waaaaaay more than what she is famous for musically .. cheers keep on being genuine!

I understand your reaction Sir: Every time I went to see Ginette live on a show, I cried so much! This person is « LOVE » on two legs. With her voice so Rich and Powerful, Ginette awakens in us Love, Passion, Authenticity because she personifies all of that! Ginette is not only our « National signer» , our « National treasure » but she is also a Monument! Long life to her! Today, she is 75 years old and she is still so good!

It's been a while since I saw this reaction. Now watching it all over again, it still hits me like the first time. I was bawling again like a child.

So, the guy is Jean-Pierre Ferland. He wrote the song. Ginette was discovered while interpreting that song on Quebec's National Day. On that night, the song was supposed to be song by another singer but Ginette got the break by begging on her knees. The performance launched her career and was captured on video below - Ginette got an 11 minutes standing ovation. The rest is history: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a2SNqsaQd9zLo84.html

I think your reaction is a proof of your sensitivity! When Ginette Reno sings it touches your soul ! I' ve seen her on a live show and it" s the only time I felt such a thing, her voice is so powerful I could feel my body vibrating as if my thorax was a sounding board ....simply amazing ! And this is a fact that Ginette Reno turned down the offer of René Angelil, (Celine Dion 'smanager)to lead her to an international career . She declined ,certainly not because she didn'nt had the talent but she didn' t want to sacrifice her family life and to much time away from her children! I have the same experience that you've experienced and this is every time I ear her sing ! ❤❤❤ I like your comment and reaction: sincere and natural!

The only thing that comes to my mind after watching this reaction is that - maybe there is a chance for all of us after all. Thank you for your honesty and for sharing your emotion with all of us. I mean, I cannot believe that you reacted to this hidden jewel (fantastic people explained wonderfully in the comments why this video is so special and so meaningful). Jeez, I would play this reaction video in schools around the globe. Mate, you are the real deal! Although I know this video by heart, I cried like a baby. I didn't know that it's possible to watch a reaction of a person that I don't know, and experience almost the exact same feelings I had years ago the first time when I experienced this performance. Wow. If someone ever asks me why am I watching reaction videos, I will just show them this. You basically nailed it down - sometimes you seek a real human being, being a real human being while reacting to music. Thank you!

Yup. Those are my peeps. I've heard this thousands of times, and I tear up every time. Two of the greatest voices in the world. Also, the melody... The song itself is just glorious. Your reaction is so lovely, so genuine. Just like those two classy ladies are. 💖

4:15 where's ginette? Don't worry you'll know when she get there! 6:30 ginette start singing 7:15 yep he's crying and he's not alone!

The guy in the beginning you don’t know, he is Jean-Pierre Ferland, the song writer. Important thing to know is that both J-P Ferland and Ginette Reno were legends to Quebecers way long before Celine Dion. That’s why Celine Dion shows that humble respect, like if she wouldn’t be where she is now without respect to childhood idols, such as Ginette…. Love love love. Jean-Pierre Ferland wrote this song for Ginette Reno at first, and he also wrote songs for Celine Dion…. This is our patrimoine, our heritage of french canadian!

My mother have seen a show of Ginette Reno a few years ago and she told me that she did a part of the show without a micro and it was it in an arena. She always had this voice

I just love Ginette so much. What a legend.

Why is it that a reaction must be with words? I thought your reaction was spot on , music is universal.

You did a great job son. Let me humbly tell you a little bit of background. Celine Dion's late husband Rene Angelil was Ginette Rino's manager until 1980-1981 when she put her career aside for her family. Rene then wanted to leave the show business to continue studying the law when a cassette came from Celine Dion's brother. After not hearing from Rene, Michel Dion calls him and says: "You probably didn't listen to the cassette we sent you. 'Cause if you did you would've call back immediately". It was an original song recorded by then 12 year old Celine written by her mother Therese and composed by Celine and one of her brothers (she had 13 brothers and sisters who all were a musical artists). The rest is history.

We all have that reaction = crying... Thank you so very much for your wise reaction.. LOVE U ( from Quebec )

Jean-pierre Ferland is the one singing in the beginning of the performance, i think that he's the one that actually wrote the song. He's also a singer (he used to sing better before, of course) so i think it a great gesture to have him, up there... three great legends of Quebec culture ❤

Being from quebec , i appreciate your reaction so much. Thank you

René Angelil, was Ginette Reno's manager. She chosed her personnel life over her career. I saw her once, she was unbelievable. Thanks for sharing this vidéo.

I was there! In 2008! I cried like a baby!

these one of our best singer in Quebec. even Céline is intimidated by this fantastic woman.. challenge not to cry.. by the way she says that life is beautiful....

He is the writer of the song... He actually recorded it for the first time in 1969 I believe.

je pleure a chaque fois que je l'entend chanter, sa voix me donne des frissons a chaque fois, Ginette est un diamant, le Quebec l'aime profondement

Celine has nothing over Ginette Reno. Ginette is the real queen of Quebec

Hi i'm a french canadian from quebec and Gibette Reno is the star of quebec since 1960 she'S really a STAR ❤❤❤
