The really rare thing about Mario is that he was one of the very few that could really,
really "reach" people. I personally cannot fathom anyone not being affected or at least impressed with his voice. Maybe he wasn't technically perfect by professional standards of serious singing. Yet, it's almost impossible not to ignore that possibility
and simply revel in his gift from God. How many singers can really "touch" us?

@listeningtoit Which world do you live in???? You obviously know nothing about Mario except the rubbish you have read about him. He never pretended anything - he was just insecure and found his success bewildering. You cannot say he had poor vocal technique then add that his voice will remain enchanting forever! Make up your mind .... I made mine up ages ago! I have been a devoted fan, in awe of Mario Lanza for 58 years and will never change my opinion. He was just the greatest!

Golden Days from The Student Prince is Mario at his best - yes he could reach the high notes effortlessly but his mastery of soft romantic singing is magnificent.
He fills every note with emotion and the beauty of his voice brings tears to the eyes - how could Mario have had such a voice and stunning, handsome looks! I know because I saw him in concert and actually met him.
Thanks for these two songs - I feel great after listening to them!

Has anyone heard of a movie? Several years ago I swear I read something about a book/script.

Poor vocal technique is not a factor that destroyed Mario Lanza, this is not even close to the truth. Lanza was gifted with the most natual tenor voice out of all the great operatic tenors of his time. Never a weakness.

Were you there in the room when Mario lanza died??? Honestly, who the heck cares what you think. Didn't your mother ever tell you, if you can't say anything nice, then zip your lips!!!! I dare anyone to deny such a great talent ever again.

I truly believe that poor vocal technique and a wild self-destructive temperament were the two factors that actually destroyed Mario Lanza. Being subjected to general manipulation, booze, over-eating, many things. Yet some aspects of his life seem obscure to me. Maybe one day we´ll know what really happened! Sometimes he looks vulnerable, pretending something!At the very end he appears bloated and unhappy! Although his glorious natural voice will remain enchanting everyone forever!

God, he had everything, a gorgeous voice and a gorgeous face and a gorgeous career. So sad he left us so soon. Thanks for this presentation.
This is a truly beautiful video... thanks a million for posting it. Mario had such a magnificent voice. He gave so much pleasure to so many in his short life.
