famous tenor of the last 50 years, he is still many [B] people's idea of the larger

Pavarotti grew up steeped in the Italian tenor tradition.
He was born in [E] Modena in the north of Italy in 1935, the son of a baker.
His father was a gifted [B] amateur tenor who [E] gave up his own [B] dream to become an opera singer
because of stage fright.

his voice on [D] record.
[G] In Britain, his recording of Nessun Dorma was used as the [D] theme of the Italian World
Cup coverage in [G] 1990.
Then an aria little known outside the opera house, sung with an uncompromising operatic
technique, Nessun [D] Dorma reached number two [G] in the UK singles charts.
Such was the pull of the star [D] tenor.
In [G] our times, Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma [Eb]
has [D] become [G] legendary.
And there are many clips of him [Eb] singing this aria, but I like this one in [G] particular because
he's very, very focused and you can see the [Eb] mechanics.
