The fabulous Miss Aretha Franklin, The Queen of Soul. Tonight I will find comfort and solace in beautiful music which I believe is the closest thing we as humans can know to the sound of God's Voice. Please take care of those you love and any others that cross your path today, we could all use a little help and inspiration. Here is Re-Re's Grammy night, last-minute step-in for Pavarotti performance of "Nessun Dorma" None must sleep! None must sleep! And you, too, Princess,in your cold room, gaze at the stars which tremble with love and hope!
But my mystery is locked within me, no-one shall know my name! No, no, I shall say it as my mouth meets yours when the dawn is breaking! And my kiss will break the silence which makes you mine!(No-one shall know his name, and we, alas, shall die!)
Vanish, o night!
Fade, stars!
At dawn I shall win

Love, OS
Have a wonderful time! She is a unique treasure - I'll be thinking Aretha songs all day now. I owe you huge for that - nothing could be better.

Have a transcendental evening, Hope. I'm a snob and somewhat of a purist when it comes to opera, but in the end, it comes down to what moves you, and this does. Thanks for bringing this youtube.

P.S., her Italian is passable. ;)
Looking forward to your report. She's great.
Ironically, I currently have an opera post as well.
