Oh yes, Plamondon and Cocciante did "Notre Dame De Paris". I don't know why I got that mixed up? I'm pretty sure Legrand is also working with Boublil & Schoenberg on something...

The only contribution of his that survived on "Let's Talk About Love" was some additional production on the track "Us". Not worth checking IMO but it's a good album all round. I also remember hearing stories about Celine demo'ing another Steinman track "You Break It (You Buy It)", whatever THAT is.

Yes, Black did the lyrics for the theatrical version of "Braver Than We Are" and is credited for it, I believe.

Interestingly, Jim produced his "I Want To Spend My Lifetime Loving You" from "The Mask Of Zorro" which came out STRAIGHT AFTER "Titanic". Hmmm
