What Kathleen Woodiwiss was for the romance genre, Luciano Pavarotti was for opera. He was the icon that pushed beyond his art, the "rock star" that put his name and his art into the public consciousness. Today, many old school romance readers name Woodiwiss' books as their first romances. I'll also bet that many people who don't care for opera know Pavarotti's name and have heard him sing either on television or radio.
I remember learning how to play the piano (a thousand years ago) and my music teacher had Pavarotti's record playing. We didn't start our lesson till he hit the high Cs in Donizetti's opera La Fille du Regiment ;-).
Of course, I didn't understand how great his voice was till I was much older. But I remember telling my mom (who didn't know much about Western opera or classical music) that I had been listening to Pavarotti and she knew who he was.
That is uberness.
RIP, King of the High Cs.
