My introduction to magnificent operatic tenors came through two avenues. Movies which starred the great and incomparable Italian tenor Mario Lanza; and via cartoons. Can’t remember the specific cartoon but there was a dog and he was belting out a song on stage in the best opera voice ever! Think it was an old Tom and Jerry cartoon. Can’t find it on YouTube. Any Tom and Jerry fans out there? Holler!
Anyway … fast forward to life AFTER meeting my S.O. (significant other), who introduces me to music never played in my childhood home.
Mr. Bocelli says that he derived his inspiration and example from Mario Lanza. This man has collaborated with many other artists such as Celene Dion, Mary J. Blige, Sarah Brightman, and David Foster. Received his album Romanza as a gift. This is just my humble opinion, and no disrespect intended to Mr. Lanza, but Mr. Bocelli is in a class all his own! Mario Lanza may have given him the impetus to pursue his singing career, but now that he has made his mark, there is nobody in a league with him! He doesn’t just sing opera. He sings popular music as well.

These days there are many well known operatic tenors (who also sing popular music) and even tenor groups like Il Divo. I love the sound of a male tenor’s voice: solo or in a group. Don’t you?
Most people who have a gMail account have a Google Plus social media account. Did you know that if you “like” a YouTube video, it will show up on your Google Plus timeline? That way you easily share music you like with friends. It’s fun!

If you are a music lover (and I don’t know anybody who isn’t) there are two groups here on Literacy Base that you can join: Music Club and Entertainment. Have fun! 🙂
