Though sometimes the 'Golden Years' seem more like tarnished brass, they are not the end of adventure. I invite you to follow me as I enjoy my days as a full-time life observer. I'll cover life, travel, food, gardening, whatever crosses my path.
I was reading the comments on my post and this song was going through my head. It took me nearly an hour to find this song in English because I could not remember who sang it in English. So, here is Frankie Laine.
Placido Domingo started his career in the sixties at the small, shabby, Opera House in Tel Aviv. He was a plump, mexican,little guy (that's how I remember him) and look where that beginning got him. He's one of the best tenors in the world. His 'Granada' interpretation is definitely one of the best. Pavarotti (rip) was, is, and will always remain The Very Best.
It was a toss-up between the two as to whose version to post. I did not know that about Domingo. I think the first version I heard in Spanish was Mario Lanza and I almost posted that one. It is a beautiful song. I must have listened to twenty or more videos online.
