Luciano
Pavarotti Cavaliere di Gran Croce OMRI (/ˌpævəˈrɒti/,USalso/ˌpɑːv-/,Italian: [luˈtʃaːno pavaˈrɔtti]; 12 October 1935–6 September 2007) was an Italian
operatic tenor who during the late part of his
career crossed over into popular music, eventually becoming one of the most acclaimed and
loved tenors of all time. He made numerous recordings of complete operas
and individual arias, gaining worldwide fame for the quality of his tone,
and eventually established himself as one of the finest tenors of the 20th
century, achieving the honorific title "King of the High Cs".
As one of the Three Tenors, who performed their first concert during the 1990
FIFA World Cup before
a global audience, Pavarotti became well known for his televised concerts and
media appearances. From the beginning of his professional career as a tenor in
1961 in Italy to his final performance of "Nessun dorma" at the 2006
Winter Olympics in Turin, Pavarotti was at his best in bel canto operas, pre-Aida
Verdi roles, and Puccini works such as La bohème, Tosca, Turandot and Madama Butterfly. He sold over 100 million records, and the first Three
Tenors recording became the best-selling classical album of all time. Pavarotti was
also noted for his charity work on behalf of refugees and the Red Cross, amongst others. He died from pancreatic cancer on 6 September 2007.

When the world is filled
with thunder
And the winds are storming above
Deep within the night we wonder
If we've lost the magic of love
But there's something inside us
That looks to the sun
We dream that this light will guide us
With love for everyone
When the birds of war are flying
And the clouds are heavy with rain
Seems as though the skies are crying
And we feel the cold tears of pain
But there's something inside us
That looks to the sun
We dream that this
light will guide us
With love for everyone
Love is there for us, everywhere for us
(In the sound of praying, little children playing)
Open your heart
Love to each of us, here in each of us
(Constant as the moon glows, or the way the grass grows)
Always and forever
Love is the river that fills every sea
Waters that mirror the way life should be
When the world is free of thunder
And the skies are peaceful above
Once again we'll know the wonder
Of the magic power of love
Oh, the magic of love.
