Green Celebrity Video!
Inspiration tenor Andrea Bocelli made a guest appearance on Sesame Street during season 36, episode 4087.
Yes -- we said episode four thousand eighty seven.
[Can you believe it -- that there are so many episodes already? And this particular one was filmed back in 2005.]
If you have fondness in your heart for the characters originally created by green celebrity Jim Henson ( now deceased) and the incredible vocals of Andrea Bocelli -- be sure you have your speakers on and ready.
Whether or not you have young children and follow Sesame Street, this video is sweet.
If children ask who the green celebrity is, you can explain his history using discussion points from the biographical items below -- simplified so young children can be in the "green celebrity know".
GREEN CELEBRITY PROFILE: ANDREA BOCELLI
Excerpts from Wikepedia:
- Born September 22, 1958 Andrea Bocelli is an Italian pop tenor and crossover artist.
- Since his debut album Il mare calmo della sera, released in 1994, he has recorded over a dozen pop and Classical albums, as well as eight complete operas, selling over 70 million copies worldwide.
- On March 2, 2010, he was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
- Bocelli was born in Lajatico, Tuscany, Italy, about 40 km south of Pisa.
- It was evident at birth that he had problems with his sight, and after visits to many doctors Bocelli was diagnosed with congenital glaucoma.
- In 1970, at the age of 12, he completely lost his sight after an accident during a soccer game.
- His mother, Edi, has said that music was the only thing that would comfort him. At the age of six he started piano lessons, and later also learned to play the flute, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, harp, guitar and drums.
- In 2005 the world renowned artist appeared in Sesame Street singing "Time to Say Goodnight" a parody of Time to Say Goodbye as a lullaby to Elmo. [GREEN CELEBRITY VIDEO SEEN BELOW]
- In 2010, Bocelli and Mary J. Blige joined forces, on January 31, 2010 during the 52nd Grammy Awards, singing Bridge over Troubled Water in order to raise awareness for the victims of the Haiti earthquake.
Andrea Bocelli's life story is so motivating, as his tale can be used to inspire children to pursue music as a hobby or career. His handicap (blindness) also shows that children who are different are simple that -- they have disadvantages to overcome in some senses but a wealth of gifts to share with the world in others.
