Too many 19-year-old girls may seize an older guy up.

What a way to go.

Will be missed---I so enjoyed-his Voice--played his CD's at work more often than not--

Very sad indeed...my step-mother is an opera singer and performed "La Traviata", "Fidelio", and "Der Ring des Nibelungen" in Cologne and Salzburg. He was a tremendous man, very kind to me and the other children of his co-performers. One of the best tenors of all time, up there with Juan Diego Flórez, David Kuebler, and José Carreras.

i had the pleasure of seeing Pavarotti twice, and there is no way to explain a voice like his. in all honesty, it was amazing. even if opera wasn't your thing, his voice amazed everyone

if any of you have a chance, check out a song he's famous for performing called "Nessun Dorma" ....one of the most beautiful, haunting melodies ever, and his performance is always heart felt on this one...

Opera is definitely not my thing, but I could listen to him for hours. His voice gives me the chills.

I too have seen him live, twice. It was an amazing experience, even if opera's not your thing.

Many artists have done this song (even Schon on his Voice album) but Pavarotti's version is my favorite.

RIP, big man.

Speaking of voices, Dr. D. James Kennedy, pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Ft. Lauderdale, also passed away at the age of 76. He was one of the few TV preachers that I liked and never had a scandal that I'm aware of. Good guy.

Very sad. Not really into opera either, but this one is beautiful (ok, I may be a little biased :wink:

Never heard him in person but found myself standing beside of him in Harrod's Dept Store in London,England. He towered over me.

Always gives my heart tugs to see a life well lived pass on.
Thanks for posting this AngieKay, I had not heard of it till your reads.

PC I have never heard of the man you typed about but I'm sad
to see of his passing as well.

I'll keep thoughts of comfort for both their families.

just thought you may want to read what Brian May had to say....

LUCIANO PAVAROTTI RIP

I was very sad to hear this morning of the passing of Luciano Pavarotti. Luicano was so great at what he did that became a kind of icon ... a kind of international treasure, like the Tutankhamen statue, in many people's minds. It seemed like he had always been there, representing the pinnacle of classical singing, and would always be there. All who worked with him loved him, and benefited from the warm generous spririt he generated. I was lucky enough to play at two of his wonderful parties, in which he would sit and sing the whole night long, with various guests, and the whole thing was before an audience of ecstatic fans in Modena.

Well, not enough words. But deepest sympathies to his lovely wife and family, and once again, the world is a sadder place, for the loss of this gentle giant.

With love
Brian

GOD....major chill-factor going on right now....listening to "Nessun Dorma" from "Turnadot" as I'm typing.... :cry:

I hate admitting this, but....the first time I heard this song was in "The Witches of Eastwick" :oops:

Little did I know.....it would be my "Future Husband's" favorite song. :shock:

*EDIT*....just watched it and listened again....sitting here, crying.... :cry:

....the 2nd to last note....HIGH....SUSTAINED!!!.....Good LORD!!!!!
