I'm not sure if one can say that he was the greatest tenor of the 20th century, but he was certainly up there in the top division. When I was in my late teens I worked with an old Norwegian baritone who knew Bjorling and would always say 'Ach, Jussi wid his liddle baby face!'
He sang this during a Ford Sunday Evening Hour concert conducted by pianist/conductor Jose Iturbi. It is listed in the addenda of the Jussi chronology book.
Inspirational! Thank you for sharing!
