dang, that was pretty good until JB stopped singing.

Wow, Nice find man. Gotta appreciate the king of soul and the king of voice together.

Pav was one of the kings, in a long processional....dig Lauritz Melchior, m'self.....and Kirsten Flagstad...Wagnerians....James ain't the king of soul....Godfather, baby, Godfather...great interpolation....what is it??

Wow... I wasn't aware that Pavarotti did this many collaborations. This is from one of the Pavarotti and Friends concerts.
