"Love Can Move Mountains" is a song from Céline Dion's 1992 album, called simply Celine Dion. It was released on November 2, 1992 worldwide. "Love Can Move Mountains" was the fourth single in the United States, Canada and Japan, and third in the rest of the world.[1]
The song was written by Diane Warren and produced by Ric Wake.
The B-side included an unreleased track "Cry Just a Little," a cover of Elizabeth Daily's 1989 song. It's the second cover of Daily that Céline Dion recorded (in 1987 she did a French adaptation of "Love in the Shadows," called "Délivre-moi").
"Love Can Move Mountains" was remixed for the clubs by Tommy Musto (Tommy Musto's 7" edit, club mix, underground vocal mix, underground instrumental, club dub, underground dub), Ric Wake and Richie Jones (Wake & Jones dub), and by Daniel Abraham (Daniel Abraham's 7" edit).
"Love Can Move Mountains" (club mix) won a Juno Award for Best Dance Recording in 1993.
The music video was made for the Daniel Abraham's 7" edit, by director Jeb Brian and released in November 1992. It appeared on Céline Dion's DVD video collection All the Way… A Decade of Song & Video (2001).
The single was included also on Dion's greatest hits albums: All the Way… A Decade of Song in 1999 and My Love: Ultimate Essential Collection in 2008.
"Love Can Move Mountains" was a part of every Dion's tour, including the latest Taking Chances Tour. Dion performed this song also five nights a week during her show A New Day... at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. Live versions of "Love Can Move Mountains" can be found on the 1994 À l'Olympia CD and the Taking Chances World Tour: The Concert DVD/CD. In 1998, Céline Dion re-recorded "Love Can Move Mountains" with a gospel group God's Property, for the soundtrack of the popular CBS-TV drama Touched by an Angel. She also appeared as herself on one episode of the series, titled Psalm 151, and performed the song.
