1 of 1001 Songs: Enrico Caruso's 'O Sole Mio

So why not? I'm already doing three other 1001 and some of the songs on this list are from artists not on the album list. Beginning with Enrico Caruso who's song, "'O Sole Mio" appears on the list from 1898. I've got to say it was a great way to kick this one off because this is a beautiful song that will ring familiar to anyone who is familiar with pop culture.

History: The song is Neapolition and if you're listening to the tune and wondering the language that is the one it's sung in. There are many covers of the song that cover many genres of artists who wanted to make one of their own of it. Bryan Adams and Elvis Presley were some of the artists who wanted to do their own cover. "'O Sole Mio" is translated as "My Sun." On top of that you've most likely watched a show or movie that included the tune like Spongebob Squarepants.
