There were no memorable performances, it was just short of depressing.
Which led me back to my favorite Grammy performance of all time - Aretha Franklin's "Nessun Dorma" from 1998.
Luciano Pavarotti was to perform the number before receiving a Lifetime Achievement award, but due to illness, was advised by doctors not to do the number, not leaving producers much time to find a replacement.
Enter Aretha.
Franking had performed the song a couple of days previously at a Musicares Benefit. She graciously stepped in with little notice to perform the aria from the opera "Turandot".
And she nails it.
To this day listening to it still sends chills up my spine.
Enjoy.
