He was born in Modena to the family of a baker. After abandoning the dream to become a professional football goalkeeper, Pavarotti spent seven years in vocal training and began his career as a tenor in 1961 in Italy. He sang in houses in the Netherlands, Vienna, London, Ankara, Budapest, and Barcelona.
He soon gained fame due to the power and strength of his voice. The young tenor earned valuable experience and significant recognition while touring on the invitation of soprano Joan Sutherland, making his 1965 U.S. debut in Miami, Florida on her recommendation. His position was solidified in the years between 1966 and 1972, during which Pavarotti first appeared at Milan's seminal La Scala, at other major European houses, and, in 1968, at NYC's Metropolitan Opera. He received great acclaim, particularly working well with Joan Sutherland.
By the mid-70s, the tenor became known worldwide, famed for the brilliance and beauty of his tone, especially into the upper register. His "high C" became one of his trademarks. The late 70s and 80s saw Pavarotti making significant appearances in the world's opera houses and establishing himself as one of the great singers of the era.
Popular stardom came at the 1990 World Cup in Italy with the performances of "Nessun Dorma" (from Turandot) and as one of The Three Tenors in their famed first concert held on the eve of the final match of the tournament (repeated at later Cups). Pavarotti sang together with fellow star tenors Plácido Domingo and José Carreras and brought to the much wider audience hits previously confined to the opera world. Appearances in advertisements and with pop icons in concerts around the world furthered his influence. Pavarotti always maintained his identity as an opera star, unlike many crossover artists.
The later years brought a decline in ability to perform on stage due to a weight gain and lack of mobility. Pavarotti's final appearance in an opera was at the Met in March 2004. The 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy saw him performing for the last time. Pavarotti sang Nessun Dorma, with the crowd as its Chorus, and got a thunderous standing ovation. On September 6, 2007, he died at home in Modena from pancreatic cancer.

La traviata / Act 2: "Lunge da lei...De' miei bollenti spiriti"
Luciano Pavarotti Lyrics
Lunge da lei per me non v'ha diletto
Volaron già tre lune
Dacché la mia Violetta
Agi per me lasciò, dovizie, onori
E le pompose feste
Ove, agli omaggi avvezza
Vedea schiavo ciascun di sua bellezza
Ed or contenta in questi ameni luoghi
Tutto scorda per me
Qui presso a lei
Io rinascer mi sento,
E dal soffio d'amor rigenerato
Scordo ne' gaudii suoi tutto il passato
De' miei bollenti spiriti
Il giovanile ardore
Ella temprò col placido
Sorriso dell'amore
Dal dì che disse, vivere
Io voglio a te fedel
Dell'universo immemore
Io vivo quasi in ciel
Volaron già tre lune
Dacché la mia Violetta
Agi per me lasciò, dovizie, onori
E le pompose feste
Ove, agli omaggi avvezza
Vedea schiavo ciascun di sua bellezza
Ed or contenta in questi ameni luoghi
Tutto scorda per me
Qui presso a lei
E dal soffio d'amor rigenerato
Scordo ne' gaudii suoi tutto il passato
De' miei bollenti spiriti
Il giovanile ardore
Ella temprò col placido
Sorriso dell'amore
Dal dì che disse, vivere
Io voglio a te fedel
Dell'universo immemore
Io vivo quasi in ciel

Lunge da lei per me non v'ha diletto
Volaron già tre lune
Dacché la mia Violetta
Agi per me lasciò, dovizie, amori
E le pompose feste
Ov'agli omaggi avvezza
Vedea schiavo ciascun di sua bellezza
Ed or contenta in questi ameni luoghi
Tutto scorda per me
Qui presso a lei io rinascer mi sento
E dal soffio d'amor rigenerato
Scordo ne'gaudi suoi tutto il passato
De' miei bollenti spiriti
Il giovanile ardore
Ella temprò col placido
Sorriso dell'amor, dell'amor
Dal dì che disse
Vivere io voglio io voglio a te fedel
Dell'universo immemore
Io vivo, io vivo quasi
Io vivo quasi in ciel
Dal dì che disse
Vivere io voglio a te fedel
Ah sì, dell'universo immemore
Io vivo, io vivo quasi
Io vivo quasi in ciel
Io vivo in ciel
Dell'universo immemore
Io vivo quasi in ciel
Ah sì, io vivo quasi in cielo
Io vivo quasi in ciel

Lunge da lei per me non v'ha diletto!
Volaron già tre lune dacché la mia Violetta
agi per me lasciò, dovizie, amori, e le pompose feste
Ov', agli omaggi avvezza,
Vedea schiavo ciascun di sua bellezza
Ed or contenta in questi ameni luoghi
Tutto scorda per me.
Qui presso a lei io rinascer mi sento, E dal soffio d'amor rigenerato
Scordo ne' gaudi suoi tutto il passato.

What a glorious Lunge da lei this is! Pav's singing in 1965-1980 was really great.
