Céline Dion is remembering Peabo Bryson, her duet partner on the Grammy-winning hit “Beauty and the Beast,” from the Disney film of the same name. Peabo died on Tuesday at age 75 after suffering a stroke earlier in the week.
Céline was still a newcomer when she recorded “Beauty and the Beast,” and Peabo was added to the duet because at the time, she wasn’t considered a bankable enough star to sing the song herself. It marked the first time that a Disney song from a movie had been re-recorded as a pop track to make it more radio friendly.
