"La ballade de Michel" (meaning "Michael's Ballad") is Celine Dion's second single from the movie soundtrack Opération beurre de pinottes. It was released in 1985 in Quebec, Canada.[1]
Background
"La ballade de Michel" was issued as a 7" single and "Michael's Song" was released as a promotional single.
Dion also recorded an English version of this song called "Michael's Song".
The Peanut Butter Solution / Opération beurre de pinottes soundtrack album includes both versions as well as two other Dion recordings: "Dans la main d'un magicien" and its English-language counterpart "Listen to the Magic Man". Neither the French nor English version of the song was included on any of Dion's albums. The English version of "Michael's Song" has never been released on CD.
In November 2014, "La ballade de Michel" and "Michael's Song" were released digitally around the world.
