Very endearing and beautiful. Thanks for sharing this, Norman.
Didn’t just about every pop singer take the stage with Pavarotti during his annual Modena extravaganzas?
Yes, so?
James Brown certainly did – they sang It’s A Man’s World together – and, morbid coincidence, Brown also died on Christmas Day, in 2006…
They were great fun. And basically my introduction to pop music for the first time since schooldays — opened up my ears. I did not see the last few, though, so missed George Michael. But I became a fan of several artists I had not previously known: the Cranberries, Sheryl Crow, the fabulous Italian rocker Zucchero.
Pav once did a duet with Elton John called Live Like Horses, in English and Italian, which still sends shivers down my spine if I hear it.
