as one who was a kid and listened to his voice, I never had the education to know what was being said, or maybe some of the stories of the music, but I do know music of the soul, and it's with that, we connected, tha man had a gift from the Heavens, and when it was time it was taken with him back to the heavens...what a blessing to have the clips, I thoroughly appreciate it, a special thanks to Tenor65, for the treat. peace

The colors he was able to add to his voice is unbelievable. Such expression and passion. That is probably the best rendition of Vesti la Giuba I've ever heard.

What can you say apart from he still is the best with the voice and has such presence and when he hits those high notes you certainly know about it and can feel it in your bones the best

Thank you Tenor65 for uploading this clips.I only can join the other people comments.This great singer made millions of people happy throughout the world.That is his good and bad luck that he worked for Hollywood.That eventually killed him but at the same time perpetuated him and many young singers learning how to sing properly.

Forgive my ignorance but what is the song that starts at 3.57, what a sad loss this was to the music world, 38 is soooo young.

I was a very young man at the time of Mario Lanza. I must thank this great singer for he helped me to make up my mind in becoming an operatic singer and now a teacher.

Thanks for this. Beautiful! Beautiful! The Vesti la Giuba is perfect! No words to describe it, that is my opinion.........He was THE OPERA SINGER! His voice, his acting, his whole appearance....only one word to describe it....exquisite!! I don't know about the child's voice..maybe a young soprano or the little boy ?...It is beautiful!
