The Three Tenors – Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo and that “third guy,” Jose Carreras – have had many singing trios or quartets follow in their wake. There are the New York Tenors and the Jersey Tenors, both of which have performed in Southern Ocean County for years. Then there are the Three Country Tenors, the Canadian Tenors, the Celtic Tenors, the Irish Tenors and many more. And let’s not forget the Three Sopranos.

In jazz there were the “Three Louies” – Armstrong, Jordan and Prima.
