From
The Barbra Streisand Music Guide
, written by Mark Iskowitz:
“Tell Him” pairs Barbra and then 29-year-old Celine Dion on a stunning ballad written for them by David Foster, his wife Linda Thompson, and Walter Afanasieff, and produced by David Foster and Walter Afanasieff.
Born of their first meeting at the 1997 Academy Awards and Barbra's subsequent invitation to sing together, Barbra & Celine's momentous collaboration single, previously slated by 550 Music/Epic Records Group/Columbia to be available in stores November 4, 1997 on CD (36K 78740), cassette, and 7-inch vinyl,
was cancelled in the U.S!
To qualify the song for the 40th Grammy Awards, Sony Music did release a 7-inch vinyl single containing only “Tell Him” in late September/early October 1997 by Columbia/Epic. It was spotted on shelves for a brief few days, while limited to specialty retailers, and is out of print. This is the record
(36 78737).

FIRST PRESS IS
EXTREMELY
RARE - CHECK DISCOGS AND OTHER SOURCES - IT IS HARD TO FIND BECAUSE THE RECORD COMPANY RELEASED A VERY LIMITED QUANTITY. AND, WHEN IT WAS RELEASED - CELINE DION'S ALBUM TITLE WAS EXPECTED TO BE "THE REASON," AND THAT WAS CHANGED TO "LET'S TALK ABOUT LOVE."
A MUST FOR THE COLLECTOR AS VALUE EXPECTED TO INCREASE.
