Subject:  RE: [vocalist-temporary] Pavarotti.


To me, Pavarotti, was, is and always will be one of the most Magnificent
voices of our time. He also happens to be a human being !!!! A man of his
stature has to be under so much pressure from everybody to always sing
perfectly - what pressure, yikes !!!


Just my $.02
