When Céline Dion and Andrea Bocelli joined forces for their duet “The Prayer” in 1998 for the animated film The Quest for Camelot, it was a moment to remember. These two originally recorded the touching song, a prayer for world peace, in solo versions, Dion singing in English and Bocelli singing in Italian.

However, it was the duet version, with their voices merging, that had audiences on their feet. “The Prayer” won the Golden Globe Award for Best Song, which gave Dion her second win in a row, and was nominated for a Grammy and an Oscar. When Bocelli was unable to make the rehearsal for the Grammy Awards, a 17-year-old Josh Groban stepped in and wowed Dion. Groban and Dion would record their own charting version in 2008.
