A friend of 47 donated this book "Franco Corelli Prince of Tenors"

His exceptionally good looks made him a matinee idol, and Franco Corelli - the Prince of Tenors-was dubbed "Mr. Soldout" for 20 consecutive years. In 1958, just 7 years after beginning his career, he was already the highest paid tenor in Italy. Following his Met debut in 1961, he was celebrated as the greatest tenor in the world, a position that he retained until his departure from the Met in 1975.
