Susan Boyle gave a stunning a cappella rendition of Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” during her appearance on Larry King Live in 2009, just after her viral success on Britain’s Got Talent. Piers Morgan, who appeared in the same interview, was particularly impressed by Boyle’s performance.

Written by James Horner and recorded by Celine Dion for the 1997 blockbuster Titanic, the song became an iconic piece of pop culture. It topped the Billboard U.S. Hot 100 chart and was the best-selling single of 1998. The song also earned Grammy Awards for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Record of the Year.

James Horner praised Dion’s passionate recording, which was famously done in just one take. The emotional lyrics, including lines like “Near, far, wherever you are” and “You’re here, there’s nothing I fear,” have made the song a wedding favorite and karaoke staple. It’s forever tied to the film Titanic and Leonardo DiCaprio’s status as a heartthrob.
