Andrea Bocelli, Tenor

Andrea Bocelli: The Music of Silence, by Andrea Bocelli (HC, 1999, $3)

Bocelli started to loose his sight when he was only a few months old. By the time  he was 12 he was completely blind. Still, he followed his passion and continued to sing, now using special Braille sheets and musical scores.

He graduated from law school. (Is there anything this man could not do?)

After auditioning before Pavarotti in 1992, he became an internationally known tenor.

Now, that's quite a life! Look for this book in the biography section, avail. 11/29.
