Du soleil au cœur (meaning Sunshine in the Heart) is an album by Canadian singer Céline Dion, released in France on October 3 1983. It's her 5th French album and 1st released in France.

Album information

It's a compilation of songs from Céline Dion's 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" success (top ten on the French charts). "Mon ami m'a quittée" was the follow-up single.

Du soleil au cœur included extended version of "Ne me plaignez pas" and one new song "À quatre pas d'ici" - a French adaptation of Bucks Fizz's "The Land of Make Believe." That song was originally written by Andy Hill and Peter Sinfield. Both of them worked with Dion again in 1993 ("Think Twice") and 1996 ("Call the Man").

In 2002, after nineteen years Du soleil au cœur was re-released in France on a CD, including five bonus tracks.

Canadian fans could find "À quatre pas d'ici" on Dion's Christmas album Chants et contes de Noël, released in November 1983.
