DDOSFB#56 - Pavarotti

In late 1935, a baker and a cigar factory worker had a child in the outskirts of Modena, Italy. As the boy grew up, he became passionate about football and developed his dream of becoming a professional goalkeeper. As he faced the dilemma of a career choice, his mother persuaded him into become an elementary school teacher. After several years, however, at the age of 19, he decided to switch career paths once again, starting a study in music.
It was not until at this moment that he realized his voice had the perfect pitch. From that point onwards, the young singer started his rise to fame. Throughout his life, he toured the world, singing in innumerable renowned pieces, starring in TV shows and selling over a hundred million records. Eventually, he became one of the legendary 'Three Tenors' and the most famous and popular operatic tenor of all time.

For anyone left unconvinced:

Luciano Pavarotti - 'Nessun Dorma' (Aria from Puccini's 'Turandot')
