1992
 
 
In the spring, the Italian rock star Zucchero looks for a tenor to make a demo of "Miserere", a song composed by him and U2's Bono, which he hopes to convince Luciano Pavarotti to sing in duet with him. He comes upon Andrea, who "sings with his soul". When Pavarotti hears the demo, he says, "Who is this fellow? You don't need me. I could not do better!" However, the duet with Pavarotti/Zucchero is made.
