Du Soleil au Coeur (meaning Sunshine in the Heart) is Céline Dion's first album released in France on October 3, 1983.

[edit] Album information

It's a compilation of songs from her previous two Canadian albums: Tellement J'Ai d'Amour... and Les Chemins de Ma Maison. The album came out thanks to "D'Amour Ou d'Amitié" single's success (top ten on the French charts). "Mon Ami M'A Quittée" was the follow-up single. The album included extended version of "Ne Me Plaignez Pas" and one new song "À Quatre Pas d'Ici" - a French adaptation of Bucks Fizz's "Land of Make Believe." That song was originally written by Andy Hill and Peter Sinfield who worked with Dion ten years later ("Think Twice," "Call the Man"). In 2002, after nineteen years Du Soleil au Coeur was re-released in France on CD including bonus tracks.

Canadian fans could find "À Quatre Pas d'Ici" on Dion's Christams album Chants et Contes de Noël released the same year.
