I always thought the Three Tenors thing a little cheesy but God whenever I think of my Grandma Santina Angelina the soundtrack is that voice singing nessun dorma, or Tosca.

That is the thing with Pavarotti - the critics have always picked on him but he communicated the love he had for the songs to the audience directly and better than anyone else.

And he was one of those characters who is SO Italian in all its wonderful, comical, ridiculous and profoundly sincere manifestations.
