Song of the Day: Caruso, words and music by Italian singer-songwriter Lucio Dalla, was written as a tribute to the legendary Italian tenor, Enrico Caruso. Dalla was born on this date in 1943; he died on March 1, 2012, three days before his 69th birthday. Check out Dalla’s original version of this 1986 song, which went to #2 on the Italian pop charts and another version by opera legend Luciano Pavarotti [YouTube links]. I also really enjoyed a rendition of this song performed at the 2026 Milano-Cortina Olympic Winter Games last month. Check out that Olympic-sized version by Lara Fabian with Croatian cellist HAUSER [YouTube link].
