this is the 1st time i've heard him in 40 years 1 one of the best tenors !
-
I knew Sergio.. he was the most modest and talented of men. His watercolours and sculptures were amazing.
-
As a teen I saw him perform at, I think, the Westbury Music Fair (or maybe the somewhat infamous Westchester Premier Theater -- anyone remember that?) about 35 years ago but it wasn't until watching this clip of him did I realize, years later as an adult, how great a singer he was.
-
Great post. R.I.P. Mr. Franchi Glad i watched as a child.
-
Why must people compare Sergio Franchi with Mario Lanza? They were two different people in personalities, looks and most of all talent. Sergio Franchi far surpassed Mario Lanza in everything.
-
Sergio was the best. I saw him many times in person, have all his recordings. He paved the way for all the current crossover singers. When he first came into this country RCA touted him as as the successor to Mario Lanza. I enjoyed Mario Lanza, however Sergio did it all. He had the range and power in his voice without the fluff that Lanza projected, and he was a true opera singer performing in many opera houses around the world, which Lanza never acheived.

It's good to know that so many people still enjoy good, no "great" talent. Sergio Franchi was irreplaceable.

The First Army New York Band performed the National Anthem at Shay Stadium opening day of base ball in May of 1968 NY Mets and San Francisco Giants.
Mr Franchi sang the National Anthem! Absolutely amazing performance! They loved him in New York... I had a chance to chat with Mr Franchi . We talked about Italy. I had just returned from a trip to Venice. A nicer more friendly and cordial man would be hard to find.. Our best wishes to this fine most great talented singer...

Sergio,was a great entertainer with a good tenor voice.However,his singing of Core'ngrato (Ungreatful Heart) is right there with the best of any Tenor!
