    Born in 1921, he never made it to the heady heights, but he'd be 85 years old today!

    He changed his name early on, but his talent as a singer was evident from an early age. It was only when he starred in the filum ""The Great Caruso" that he got the recognition he deserved:

    Although American by birth, Mario Lanza was really more comfortable in his native Italian. I defy any comparison to Pavarotti in this song! It's also from the filum "The Great Caruso".

    A most wonderful voice that's sadly been somehow forgotten.
