Beauty and the Beast: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the official soundtrack album to Walt Disney Pictures’ thirtieth animated feature film Beauty and the Beast (1991).
Originally released on October 29, 1991, by Walt Disney Records, the album’s first half – tracks 2 to 9 – generally contains the film’s musical numbers, all of which were written by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Howard Ashman, while its latter half – tracks 10 to 14 – features its musical score, composed solely by Menken.
While the majority of the album’s content remains within the musical theatre genre, its songs have also been influenced by French, classical, pop and Broadway music. Credited to Various Artists, Beauty and the Beast: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack features performances by the film’s main cast – Paige O’Hara, Richard White, Jesse Corti, Jerry Orbach, Angela Lansbury and Robby Benson – in order of appearance.
Additionally, the album features recording artists Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson, who perform a pop rendition of the film’s title and theme song, “Beauty and the Beast”, which simultaneously serves as the soundtrack’s only single. Source

Hi Vicky Celine is absolutely fabulous with her talent. I learned that she was ill. Sad news.
I’ve seen some pictures of Celine… She was really very thin.
I recall that she had some throat problem in 2020 and her husband has been ill. 🤔
I’m sorry 😢 about that
Me too!
