did Luciano Pavarotti even have a hit? i never heard of this jabroni?

Answer 1

Oh Yes. He is the Mozart of modern day Opera singers a Male Tenor I think? that part may be incorrect. But he is a very famous Opera Singer and he is not known for his HITS as per a song per say, but more for his Roles for Opera singers are singing a play aloud almost like a musical except the entire story is told on stage and song usually in Latin, German or one of the Romance languages.

THAT is why he is famous and well known since the 50's at least, he has been around my entire life and I am nearly 40. He is in his 70's so he has had a very long career.

Hope that helps

(Um Emerald, just because he does not know who he is does not make him ignorant, NOT ASKING would be ignorant, he had the intellect to know enough to ask in the forum because he did not know and wants to know so why slam down on him for wanting an honest answer? Not every one can be cosmopolitan or be a jack of all trades so cut him some slack, he asked a reasonable questions regardless if you liked the way it was asked or not, he still is smart enough to ask about him rather than just write him off as a no body when we all know Pavarotti is not a nobody but a very large star. and no I'm not coming down on you either if it sounds it, but i think there is no reason to belittle him for wanting to know the truth versus just his own opinion)

Answer 2

Luciano Pavarotti is in the same class of artist as Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, and the Beach Boys -- all have sold over 100 million records. Pavarotti's just happen to be classical; whereas, the others are rock. Pavarotti was probably the best-known operatic tenor of this generation who rocketed to stardom after singing a rendition of Nessun Dorma before a soccer game (Nessun Dorma is one of the most difficult of tenor arias and is the final, gut-wrenching moment from the opera Turandot.) Pavarotti was nominated for several Emmy awards and won one -- again, all for classical performances like Live at Lincoln Center.

I'm glad you had the curiosity to ask. Just because someone has never heard of someone else doesn't diminish that person's contribution. If all you listen to is the current music, you might never have come in contact with Luciano Pavarotti, but he is without a doubt one of the great performers of this time or any time. And if this jabroni interests you at all,check out a couple more you've probably never heard of -- Enrico Caruso, Mario Lanza, Beverley Sills, and Edith Piaf.

Answer 3

That depends. He didn't have a hit on the local hip hop station. Maybe that's why you never heard of him...

Luciano Pavarotti (October 12, 1935 – September 6, 2007) was a celebrated Italian tenor and one of the most popular vocal performers in the world of opera and across multiple musical genres. Known for his televised concerts, media appearances, and as one of The Three Tenors, Pavarotti was also noted for his award-winning charity work, raising money on behalf of refugees, the Red Cross and other worthy causes.

Pavarotti was launched into popular culture after a performance of Nessun Dorma for the opening ceremony of the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy. The first of the famed The Three Tenors concerts was held on the eve of the final match of the tournament in which Pavarotti performed together with fellow star tenors Plácido Domingo and José Carreras. Through these performances, Pavarotti brought hits previously confined to the opera world to a much wider audience; Pavarotti further spread his influence with appearances in advertisements and concerts with pop stars. Unlike many crossover artists, Pavarotti always maintained his identity as an opera star.

Answer 4

I mean this quite sincerely, and in the most gentle possible way - you should be ashamed that you don't know this man's name. It doesn't matter if opera isn't to your taste. To be ignorant of the impact of this man upon music as an art and as an entertainment is deeply sad...because you've shut yourself off from one of humankind's most glorious abilities, perhaps one of the very few justifications we have to exist in this Universe.

And it tickles me to know that if you'd ever had the opportunity or the balls to call Luciano Pavarotti a "jabroni" within his hearing, he would have knocked you on your *** so hard, you'd be swilling beer with your sphincter.

And Luciano would have been kind enough and generous enough and good natured enough to buy you the beer.

Answer 5

Jabroni? Maybe you should get some education and get your head out of whatever you are listening to. You need to broaden your music knowledge. Pavarotti was one of the greatest opera tenors who ever lived. Unfortunately, people like you will never understand the loss that the rest of us feel at his passing. Hits? He had dozens... but your limited knowledge of music wouldn't understand that.
Jabroni? You are the jabroni cupcake.

Answer 6

He sold a million records... of opera! He traveled the world; he lived very large; he was a happy person in restaurants and around groups and with women... and that's just what a fan told me!

Who knows the half of it, eh? I'd heard of him a lot, and I rarely listen to opera since I don't understand the languages used... but I knew he was very very good at what he did (a tenor, I believe) and I was sorry to hear he died.

Answer 7

You really are not very cosmopolitan, and you've proved it by coming here and posting your ignorant question. Your use of "jabroni" accentuates even more you're lack of intelligence, musical aptitude, and culture. Don't advertise your shortcomings.

Answer 8

sounds like you are to young and havent expanded you music selection. This man is world famous in the classical music feild.

Answer 9

Your musical Ignorance is astounding!!
