He used his God-given talent well. RIP, Pavarotti.

Aretha Franklin’s version of the famous operatic piece wasn’t bad, either. ;)

Even better was her live performance of the song at an awards show several years ago after Pavarotti had to cancel. Spine-tinglingly good. I typically don’t do awards shows and can’t remember why I decided to watch, but I was glad I did that night.

Addendum: Getting a fair number of hits for “luciano pavarotti christian.” Don’t know…
