Fame
It was in Montreal that Rick and Lara made fame. Despite not finding a record label to sign to, they made their own and created Lara's first album which, after two years, became gold, and subsequently platinum. Lara's second album, Carpe Diem, was also produced by Rick and then released in 1994. In 1995, having gained Canadian citizenship, they created her third album, Pure; teaming up with other famous names, they composed many unforgettable songs that rapidly soared to triple platinum in Canada, Diamond in France, and became internationally acclaimed.
Between 2002 and 2003, Rick decided, after helping so many other musicians, that he would create his own album featuring some songs with those who he had duetted with and some of Lara's work. The album is called Je suis un autre. To this day, he still is surrounded by work in the music industry.

Famous quotes containing the word fame:
“Alas, we are the victims of advertisement. Those who taste the joys and sorrows of fame when they have passed forty, know how to look after themselves. They know what is concealed beneath the flowers, and what the gossip, the calumnies, and the praise are worth. But as for those who win fame when they are twenty, they know nothing, and are caught up in the whirlpool.”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
“I see my reputation is at stake,
My fame is shrewdly gored.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Death makes no conquest of this conqueror,
For now he lives in fame though not in life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
