Did she have a great voice or was she a great singer? To me those are different things.

Well Pavarotti was so entranced by her performance stepping in to cover for him at the last second at the Grammies one year (where she performed HIS song) that when she explained she was terrified of flying and couldn't appear with him in Europe, he promised to fly with her and hold her hand the entire flight, if she would agree to come.

Pretty sure he knows better than me.

Interesting. An unlikely duo. La Scala meets Motown (well technically she did not sign with Motown but I think broadly speaking is part of the sound). I always thought her strength was her phrasing and timing and spirit, but maybe the great voice was there too.

Well to be fair Pavarotti enjoyed pop music and singers and performed with them a lot, but he tended to pick REALLY good ones.

He has two charity concerts that he put together called Romanian Angel Appeal, in addition to American pop stars there are lots of world stars that we don't know of, he performs duets with his favorites. You get to hear him duet in opera with Cheryl Crow and Jon Secada and pop with Eric Clapton and Elton John etc.

Two awesome albums. Probably available on youtube as well.

Domingo had a nice duet with John Denver, Perhaps Love. The Ezio Pinza Mary Martin duets in South Pacific are great.

Dumb thing, any time I see or hear the name Ezio Pinza I start singing his name to the tune of The Searches "Needles and Pins"
