    My grandfather on my mother's side died when she was 13. One of the stories I have heard about him is that he would spend his last nickle if he had to, to go listen to opera. This kind of music has brought men stronger than you or I to a mass of tears.

      Enrico Caruso made grown men Cry after every Opera! He started this type of singing & was the first blockbuster from the Golden Age! His voice was even more powerful than Pavarotti who knows he's the best! The song " Caruso " is a dedication to him Caruso was also the greatest actor w8 his singing

    The writer of this song, Lucio Dalla (from Bologna, northern Italy), wrote this while staying in one of the rooms where Enrico Caruso, former famous tenor (From Neaples, southern Italy), spent the final days of his life. Caruso was 48-years-old when he died, and a few years before Caruso died, he married Dorothy Park Benjamin who was 20 years younger. They had a baby girl they named Gloria. Lucio Dalla wrote this song while imagining how Caruso, who knew he was dying, would have said goodbye to his young wife - the love of his life.
    curiosity: in sicilian dialect the word caruso means (ragazzo) boy.

      @Marie Whitbread it was supposed to say 'about' Caruso lol.... uhhggg talk-to-text!😫
      Before he died Lucio Dalla came to Capri and sang Caruso for us during one of our big festivals...
      I always prefer Lucio Dalla's version.
      An interesting side note - in addition to his performance in Capri, I bumped into him once in Rome in the late 80s. I was walking around the corner going one way and he was running around the corner coming the other way... running away from paparazzi chasing him with their cameras! I didn't even know who it was until after the fact... It was like a hit and run! I said to by fiance Massimo "what a jerk, he didn't even stop to apologize" and Massimo replied "Tesura, that was Lucio Dalla and I think he's got bigger problems right now"😂 I said, oh.... I thought he looked familiar Lol 😂😂😂

    He was the best modern tenor, period. I love the fact that you react to more of him, because most people only do "Nessun Dorma". If you really love his voice, go and check any od these: Vesti la giuba, Miserere, La donna e mobile, Una Furtiva lacrima, Volare. He was also know for singing with other genres, check this same song with him and Lucio Dalla, or his song Miss Sarajevo with Bono from U2. He made a lot a lot of music.

    If you don't know, Caruso (whom the song is about) was an Italian tenor opera singer who performed in America. He was one of the best. Before our time, but I think you can find very old recordings of him when the record player was new tech.

  • @daisy9910
    @daisy9910 10 месяцев назад

    I absolutely love your genuine reactions. I was brought up listening to lots of musical genres, including opera, and so it was something that I knew from an early age. That doesn't diminish the way I feel every time I hear Pavarotti sing. He had a magical way of imparting the emotion behind the lyrics, even for people who don't understand the language he is singing. If a man sang to me the way Pavarotti did, good lord, I'd be his for life. lol

    this song actually depicts the last days of Enrico Caruso, one of the greatest tenors, very much acclaimed in the US (here the reference of the nights in America, where his career was booming). It was written by Lucio Dalla, another cornerstone of the italian music, 65 years after Caruso's death in the very hotel where the tenor died, an hotel with a wonderful view on the gulf of Naples. The woman in this song should be Dorothy Park Benjamin, a former student of the tenor and the last of his many lovers, with which he had a daughter, Gloria. The tenor, quite sick at that time, probably knew he would not last long (and that's why the reference to the death in this song) although young, he was only 48.

    If you liked this you should try Jussi Björling, Pavarotti has said that he was a huge inspiration for him and that he himself is a mere mortal in comparison to Jussi and that whenever he would sing a song for the first time he'd picture himself how Jussi would sing it and then try to do it as close to that as possible.

    There is a very beautiful version of this song by Lara Fabian, a fantastic singer. You’ll love her.

    Hang in there, James. I love your reactions. You are a tenderhearted, genuine person that has been through a lot in your life. You bring joy to many people, which is my goal as a reactor as well. Pavarotti is a legend, possibly the best tenor to ever walk the planet. And he sang with such heart and emotion. Please do bring your grandparents on to react to it. That would be awesome. God bless you and your channel, friend.
