Italian opera singer and songwriter Andrea Bocelli is loved worldwide for his heavenly voice.
Celine Dion herself has been quoted to say:
If God would have had a singing voice, He must sound a lot like Andrea Bocelli.
David Foster has described Andrea’s voice as one of the most beautiful in the world.
David is a muscian, record producer, composer, songwriter and arranger. he has been a producer for man musicians including Chaka Khan, Christina Aguiler, Michael Buble, Celine Dion, Josh Groban, Whitney Houston, Kenny Rogers, and Andrea Bocelli, along with so many more. With accolades like that, this compliment isn’t taken lightly.
After a football injury Bocelli was diagnosed with a condition that left him blind at the age of 12. But none of that has stopped him. He has recorded 15 solo albums, three greatest hits albums, and nine complete operas. His sales have reached over 90 million records around the world.
He has even been named as one of People’s magazines “50 most beautiful people in the world.”
But the most outstanding this about him is his passion for music. It’s that passion that has driven him to achieve the great success he has. Even from a young age, Bocelli spent time singing. He even gave his first concert near his hometown. At age 14, he won his first singing competition. Interestingly, he studied law at the University of Pisa, but to earn money he performed at piano bars in the evenings. He did complete law school and worked one year as a lawyer before starting his music career full time.
In this performance Andrea teams up with the Morman Tabernacle choir to sing The Lord’s Prayer set to music.
Commenter Philip Holbrook said,
“I am a Roman Catholic and, of all the songs of the Lords Prayer, this is by far the best of the best. I have listened to this great singer for many years but this song is his greatest works. Andrea, you have outdone yourself this time. Thank you.”
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is a chorus of 360 men and women who uses music to bring joy, peace, and healing to its listeners.
Would you believe this choir has been around since 1847? They were formed when the Church of Latter-Day Saints moved to Salt Lake Valley. In 1929, they were blessed to have their own radio program, Music and the Spoken Word, where they continue to share their music and purpose.
To date, the radio program is the world’s longest continuing network broadcast in over 2,000 radio and television stations with more than 4,500 episodes.
YouTube commenter Andrew Broad said,
“Absolutely beautiful. The most amazing song I have ever heard. A simple prayer turned into a song for the Lord.”
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir aim to transcend cultural and generational boundaries and unite people worldwide through music.
Another YouTube commenter Gail Severson said,
“Andrea, you are the BEST, you are so amazing. God led you to us to sing us this song!”
We can’t agree more with her!
