Celine Dion And Joe Walsh Performed A Soulful Duet Of The Beatles’ “Something”

On February 15, 2008, during her televised special Celine Dion: That’s Just The Woman In Me, Celine Dion took the stage and said “There’s a George Harrison song I’ve wanted to sing forever.” Seconds later, she invited Joe Walsh to join her, and what happened next was nothing short of breathtaking.

Dion, known for her soaring ballads like My Heart Will Go On and Think Twice, and Walsh, the legendary guitarist of The Eagles, come from vastly different musical worlds. Yet, their collaboration proved that great music transcends genres.

Celine Dion and Joe Walsh gave the crowd a beautifully refined performance of “Something,” the timeless George Harrison classic made famous by The Beatles in 1969. The band’s guitarist, George, wrote the song for his then-wife, Patti and as the result, It became a global hit.

Dion, with her signature grace, brought a soft, elegant touch to the song. Dressed in a striking white feathery dress and thigh-high black boots, she captivated the audience with both her presence and her voice. Her delicate interpretation echoed the renditions of past female icons like Shirley Bassey.

Joe Walsh’s guitar work added depth and warmth to the performance, blending seamlessly with Celine’s soaring vocals. When it came time for the iconic solo, Walsh made it his own—staying true to the original while infusing it with a touch of country rock. The combination of their distinct styles created a powerful tribute that left a lasting impression. Fans were captivated, with one calling it “a masterclass by two legends honoring a third.”
