FAMOUS ITALIAN TENORS Andrea Bocelli was born September 22, 1958, in Lajatico, near Pisa, Italy. He lost his sight at age 12, but his lack of sight did not deter him. He attended university and studied law. He practiced law and after working as a state-appointed attorney, he made a major career change and decided to get into music. The entertainment world is very glad he did! Bocelli performs wonderfully singing solo. However, his collaborations with artists are also very impressive. In fact, his collaboration with Italian pop star Zucchero Fornaciari to sing “Miserere,” is what he put him on the music map. That song was intended to be sung by another renowned tenor, Luciano Pavarotti. Even Pavarotti was impressed with this unknown tenor's voice. Check out this performance: Zucchero, Pavarotti AND Bocelli, Miserere (Rare version) ~ https://youtu.be/EYBHNLdwzbs. Bocelli also collaborates with artists that you would probably never pair him with. For example, Mary J. Blige is an American singer and people call her the "Queen of Hip-Hop Soul". I would have never thought that Andrea Bocelli would have collaborated with Mary J. Blige. But he did and the end result was magical! They got together and performed a duet for his Christmas album: What Child is This ~ https://youtu.be/k9z0NpoGs0s. He has also collaborated with Christina Aguilera, Stevie Wonder, Celene Dion, and many more popular artists. Andrea Bocelli is an award-winning tenor. His singing voice has been described as “The World's Most Romantic Voice” and as “The World's Most Beloved Tenor”. Both descriptions are accurate. His blend of opera and pop is unique. When I was growing up the only Italian tenor I knew about was Mario Lanza. So it was no surprise to me that when Andrea Bocelli was asked about the artists who inspired and motivated him, he named Mario Lanza ~ https://youtu.be/-CPWOBh5x8s. #Entertainment #music #musiclovers #opera
