A truly wonderful man

The type of photography I did allowed me to meet some wonderful and famous people. This is a photo of Pavarotti during a cocktail reception at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan. I was working for an Italian paper and prime minister Spadolni of Italy was being honored. This being 1976, it is before he was propelled to super stardom. He was truly a celebrity. we spoke briefly and found a truly down to earth man. I shall never forget that evening.
