"'Tout l'or des hommes'" (meaning "All the Men's Gold") is the first hit single from Celine Dion's 2003 album, '1 fille & 4 types'. It was released on 6 October 2003 in selected countries. "Tout l'or des hommes" was written by Jacques Veneruso, who wrote Dion's previous French hit "Sous le vent". The song was produced by Erick Benzi, who worked with Dion on 'D'eux' in 1995 and 'S'il suffisait d'aimer' in 1998.[http://www.celinedion.com/celinedion/english/music.cgi?album_id=18 1 fille & 4 types] . Retrieved 13 October 2003.
Background and release
The music video, directed by Yannick Saillet, was shot in May 2003 in the Mojave Desert and released in October 2003. It was included on the "Tout l'or des hommes" DVD single and Dion's 2005 video compilation 'On ne change pas'. The making of "Tout l'or des hommes" video appeared on the '1 fille & 4 types' limited edition and the 'On ne change pas' DVD as well.
On 1 October 2003 Dion taped the '1 fille & 4 types' TV special at the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, where she performed this song among others.
"Tout l'or des hommes" became a hit spending eight weeks at number 1 on the Quebec Singles Chart and three weeks atop the Polish Singles Chart. It reached the top 10 in the Francophone countries, including number 3 in France where it was certified silver for selling 125,000 copies. "Tout l'or des hommes" became the highest-charting French-language single on the Canadian Singles Chart, peaking at number 2, but Audrey De Montigny's "Mme les anges" matched this peak a month later, allowing the two songs to share the achievement.
