A world without the King of High C's? That sad news was hard to accept when Luciano Pavarotti succumbed to pancreatic cancer in September of 2007.
From his big, boisterous grin to his belt-it-to-the-back-seats renditions of "Nessun Dorma," this unlikely sex symbol dazzled the world for decades. Sting sang with him. Women loved him. Even Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras turned a night with lucky Luciano at Rome's Baths of Caracalla into "The Three Tenors" World Cup legend.
Yes, this rotund wonder with the showy scarves and black, caterpillar eyebrows may be singing with the angels. But in this moment - as with all the wealth of operatic recordings Pavarotti left behind - it's not over until the fat lady - or man - sings. |
