Enrico Caruso (25 February 1873 – 2 August 1921) was an Italian tenor generally acknowledged as one of the greatest tenors of all time. 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

O Sole Mio


Even now, a century later

There has been no tenor greater;

Every passing generation

Adds their dash of veneration.


Aspiring tenors have no choice,

They can’t avoid his golden voice,

And judged by that unfair comparison

Will likely find it all embarrassin’.
