Céline Dion recorded also an English version of this song called "Listen to the Magic Man" and did her first real music video for it (1985).

"Listen to the Magic Man" is notable for being Dion's first English-language song recorded in the studio.

The soundtrack includes both versions as well as two others Dion recordings: "La ballade de Michel" and "Michael's Song."

Neither French or English version were included on any of Céline Dion's albums.

The track was made officially available on CD for the first time in September 2006, included on a special bonus disc bundled with Volume 1 of the Contes pour tous DVD box set, only available through Imavision's web site.
