DEATHSCORE: Luciano Pavarotti dead at 71

This contest just took on a different tenor...

Opera star (if not the star of all stars) Luciano Pavarotti died at his Italian home at age 71 after a long bout with cancer.

Again, the NY Times comes strong with a life retrospective, comparing his career to the great Enrico Caruso - which I find insulting comparing him to Leslie Nielsen's character in the Naked Gun series...

To the numbers for Vince R solo hit...

(125-age 71)*1.0 = 54 plus 40 point solo = 94 points
