Requiem in Pace

Luciano Pavarotti has died.

One does not have to be an opera fan to appreciate this man's voice and contribution to music. His "signature" song was Nessun Dorma the aria from the final act of Puccini's Turandot, which is based on a Persian fairy tale. It is a very powerful and moving piece and I defy anyone with a soul not to be moved.

The world of music has lost a legend...

UPDATE: From a letter to CNN: "Heaven now has a tenor." And, yes, Nessun Dorma is the song Paul Potts sung on "Britian's Got Talent."
