One of the greats

Yesterday I read about Pavarotti's failing health, and thought to myself, "We may lose this great voice too soon". I awoke this morning to the news that indeed the great tenor had left us overnight. Highlights were already making the rounds on new stations, newspapers, and the Internet before I had my morning cup of tea. We all knew for some time about Luciano's health, but the news is still sad. We have lost one of the most influential and profound tenors of the last half century, and while we will no longer enjoy his voice from the stage, his legacy will carry on forever.

Feel free to leave your thoughts on this blog about the passing of Luciano Pavarotti. What are some of your favorite arias sung by him?
