Aretha Franklin Sings Opera (1998)
Music

Despite everyone's best efforts to put together a perfect show, a lot of factors, such as human errors and people's reactions, could bring in nice surprises or turn the show disastrous.

AceShowbiz - Aretha Franklin earned the title as the Queen of Soul not without a reason. However, for a day only, she switched genre onstage at the 40th Grammy Awards for a good reason. She filled in for her good friend Luciano Pavarotti, who had just been deemed too sick to perform by his team of doctors, at "literally, a moment's notice."

With just one listen to Pavarotti's rehearsal tape and with no time to practice, the "Respect" singer delivered her own take on "Nessun Dorma". Her decades of experience did not disappoint as she earned a standing ovation from the crowd, which included Celine Dion and LeAnn Rimes, at the end of the performance.
