I turned on the radio this morning and was so shocked to hear about Luciano Pavarotti passing away last night.  I never even heard that he was sick.  He was by far one of the best singers of this era and I have always had so much respect for him.  I grew up listening to a lot of opera and it was engrained in my head that he was the best of the "Three Tenors".  Just a few months ago I introduced Josh to him and played him a video on Youtube.  He'd never been a big fan of opera but was blown away by the beauty and strength of his voice.   He was truely incredible and a great inspiration. 

If you have never had the chance to listen to him, check this out;
