Time to Say Goodbye - Andrea Bocelli & Sarah Brightman - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Time to Say Goodbye," an English/Italian duet by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman, is a romantic piece of opera pop that was a hit all over Europe in the mid-1990s. The song's lyrics were penned by Lucio Quarantotto and its music was composed by Francesco Sartori, two of Andrea Bocelli's most frequent collaborators. It was produced by Frank Peterson, who most famously worked with new-age pop band Enigma on several of their hit albums and songs. The original version of the track, called "Con te partirò," was performed in Italian by Andrea Bocelli alone. "Con te partirò" was the strongest-performing single of all time in Belgium, where it remained at number 1 on the charts for 12 weeks, and sold nearly 1 million copies in France. The English duet also had incredible success, perhaps even wider appeal, where it sold over 3 million copies in Germany, and reached number 1 in four countries: Austria, Germany, Ireland, and Switzerland. A dance music cover version by Donna Summer went to number 1 on the Billboard US Dance Club chart, as well. "Time to Say Goodbye" has been featured prominently in television and film, even appearing in the children's show Sesame Street.
