And back then, Sunday night meant only one thing:
Gathering around the TV to watch "The Ed Sullivan Show."
The number one song on the radio was "The Monster Mash." But when Ed introduced the very exotic and dashing Italian tenor, I sat up and took notice as he stole my heart singing "Core Ngrato."
"Ungrateful Heart" ... ironic, no?
He was simply the most handsome man I had ever seen! I decided then and there to save my pennies and travel from rural Massachusetts to Rome, where we would become great friends. And, perhaps more?
Suffice it to say, I was in love!
Ken - Massachusetts

I had the pleasure of seeing him on Broadway in 1983. When he kissed Anita Morris' behind while she was wearing a body stocking the audience was enthralled!
