Death Of A Tenor

[Ron Beron]

I am sure many of us know who Luciano Pavarotti is. I just read he passed away today at 71 from cancer. What a shame and loss.

Oooops....I meant to include this....

[MorningStar]

How sad. He will be missed by many people.

[Garden Girl]

What a gifted person... I enjoyed the "Three Tenors" CD... and his own work as well...

Oh, he did die. Last time I heard his health deteriorated.

I was never an opera fan, but I am sure he will be missed. It must have been a wonderful thing to have such a great talent and share it with the world for so long.

BTW, when Princess Diana died, and the Paparatzi was blamed, everybody in my family first thought it was Pavaroti. All of us were trying to figure out why an opera singer would kill the Princess of Wales.

I have felt so low today because the maestro is gone. Twenty years ago I watched the three tenors, purchased the CD, expanded my collection, and never looked back. I am a huge opera fan and it is especially because of the man with the delightful face and the huge girth which was trifling compared to his stunning, wondrous and enchanting life.

I will miss him terribly.

Here he is singing one of my favorites: It's Una Furtiva Lagrima written by Gaetano Donzinette

Una Furtiva Lagrima

For those who love opera as I do, here is a treat that I’m sure the maestro would want us to enjoy.

It’s the story of an unassuming cell phone salesman with a dream that comes true, and gives you chills at the same time. Enjoy.

I hope you enjoy Paul's story as much as I did, and do.

Mr. Potts story is remarkable as was the life of Pavarotti. A childhood friend of his shared the story that when he was a baby he ate so much that they had to get a wet-nurse for him in addition to his own mother. I am not a major fan of operas, but I love the arias.

I have never really been to an opra before but really really really enjoyed listening to Pavarotti.

He will truly be missed

I still remember the shock that rolled through the music world when he revealed in his autobiography that he never learned how to read music. Best wishes to him and his family.
