Truly, he "owned" this song - or perhaps it owned him. :) Wikipedia says:
Pavarotti became even better known throughout the world in 1990 when his rendition of the aria "Nessun Dorma" from Giacomo Puccini's Turandot was taken as the theme song of BBC's TV coverage of the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy. The aria achieved pop status and remained his trademark song. This was followed by the hugely successful Three Tenors concert, held on the eve of the World Cup final at the ancient Baths of Caracalla in Rome with fellow tenors Plácido Domingo and José Carreras and conductor Zubin Mehta, which became the biggest selling classical record of all time. A highlight of the concert, in which Pavarotti hammed up a famous portion of di Capua's "O Sole Mio" and was mimicked by Domingo and Carreras to the delight of the audience, became one of the most memorable moments in contemporary operatic history.
In performance in Los Angeles in 1994, here's Luciano Pavarotti (1935-2007) with "Nessun Dorma", from Puccini's opera, "Turandot".
