Aretha Franklin ~ Nessun Dorma (HIGH QUALITY)

Description

Twenty two minutes after she was asked to cover for her ailing friend, Luciano Pavarotti, Aretha Franklin takes the stage sans key change to perform the legendary aria "Nessun Dorma", a piece she sang previously a few days earlier (in her own register, I might add). It begets one of the most extraordinary musical moments in awards show history. It brought the audience to a thunderous ovation.
