Franchi's fantastic voice made him a mega-star---but the voice as stilled...hen he died from brain cancer.
Some thirty seven years after his death, his albums still chart.
Those chiseled features (sigh).
I have chiseled features, Liz, chiseled from Play Dough.
Ha!

What a beautiful arrangement. I assumed that this was a recent recording and was thrilled that there are musicians who still know how to create great music without using electric guitars, loud drums and computerized gee-whizzery—but then I noticed that it dates from 1965.
The Lord's Prayer--John Charles Thomas (1935)
ell....do you look like Sergio?
Just beautiful....does sound a lot like Sergio’s arrangement.
Core ‘ngrato (Ungrateful Heart) composed for Caruso.....and most Italian tenors recorded it.
But Sergio’s renditon is just amazing.
See the video.
My favorite , I send it out every Christmas. Not Sergio but I know you will like it

He use to be on the Mike Douglas Show all the time. His sister Dana Valery, who was also a singer, would sometimes appear with him on the show.
I love his voice to this day. Beautiful tenor.
Yes. But add about 100# to that picture. Give me your private contact information that I might help with your needs. ;-)
Love love love it-—Bocelli and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
The David Hitman Foster arrangement (he played the organ) is thrilling......from the Christmas program...aired on PBS.
Bocelli and Mary K Blige also did Child is This beautifully.
You’re a riot....a regular riot.
Sergio as also quite religious....on his estate in Conn, he has his on chapel....Mrs F still lives there.
In one foray into politics, Sergio’s appearances raised 600,000 for a pro-life candidate.
Every year, they hold a memorial concert on his estate....thousands attend from all over.
I'll be 63 in August, had bilateral inguinal repairs from a female surgeon last week, and my balls are blue!
Got nothin' to lose!
Should probably stop now.
