I heard about this on NPR this morning. Maybe it's not that unusual, considering that Pavarotti did once sing on a U2 collaboration. Still, "It's a Man's Man's World" with James Brown and a full orchestra? If only they had recorded an album of funk covers together. Although, the tenor's take on "(Get Up I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine, Pt.1" could have somehow altered the space time continuum.
