    “Well I really wasn’t such a Johnny Ace fan,
    But I felt bad all the same”

    I don’t think any death in the classical world could have touched me as much as this one, without there being any specific reason for being touched, since I wasn’t really into this particular kind of popular hawling of opera into the marketplace. Strange.

    Perhaps it’s just that he was a great singer with an obvious presence and something as old-fashioned as love for what he was doing.

    Damn, he’s gone now. I miss him already.

    Luciano Pavarotti, 1935–2007
