I came across this on YouTube last night. It shows the reaction of Black people hearing Pavarotti for the first time. I know nothing about the channel, but it's nice to watch.

It's too bad he's no longer with us, but he left us with many hours of recordings.

…..and to listen to a Black Soprano singing, and bringing everyone to tears, check out Pretty Yende.
She’s currently singing the role of Violetta in La Traviata at the San Francisco Opera. Tonight is the first night and I’d do almost anything to be there.
Check her out, her school teacher told her she couldn’t sing, but after studying with the Cape Town Opera has become one of the World’s leading sopranos. Her role of Lucia in Lucia De Lammermoor is the absolute best. I heard her perform this in a concert performance of the opera at the Artscape Theatre in Cape Town a year or two ago with the Cape Town
Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Richard Bonynge, the husband of the late great Joan Sutherland.

My favorite singer overall. Had the chance to do a check on my bucket list when I saw him in Cincinnati years ago. He was awesome in Rigoletto, Elixir ‘da More and Pagliacci.

I listen to this and wonder what has happened to all the world's great music that has now been replaced by glorified noise. IMHO operatic music sits at the pinnacle of all classical music, A great human voice is indeed the finest musical instrument in the orchestra.

Black, brown, red, yellow, white - music affects all the same, it is universal.

Think of all the artists rap has taken away from jazz.

I don't know about that. Could a rapper easily switch over to jazz - and be good at it?

No, a rapper could not easily switch to jazz, but he/she might have taken up jazz instead of rap to begin with.
