Andrea Bocelli (b. 1958)
There's something about a voice like Andrea Bocelli's that reaches people no matter what language they speak or where they're from — my mother, who barely speaks English, will stop everything in the room the moment one of his recordings comes on. Ninety million records sold worldwide is an almost impossible number to picture, but I think what it really means is ninety million small moments in ninety million ordinary living rooms, the same kind of moment I've watched happen in my own home. I spend most of my working hours with people at the very end of their lives, and I can tell you that certain music — his kind especially — has a way of reaching someone even when almost nothing else does anymore. Bringing classical and operatic music to that many ordinary people, not just concert halls full of experts, feels like its own quiet form of care. Maganda, we'd say — beautiful — and I don't think that word needs much translating no matter who's listening. Some gifts really are for everyone.
Andrea Mitchell (b. 1946)
I've logged a lot of hours listening to the news out of a truck cab somewhere between two towns whose names I'll forget by next week, and Andrea Mitchell's voice has been part of that soundtrack for longer than I've had a CDL. Decades as NBC's chief foreign affairs correspondent is the kind of career that doesn't happen in one dramatic moment, it happens one story at a time, night after night, for longer than most careers last at all. I've got some complicated feelings about how the news gets covered these days, same as I've got complicated feelings about a lot of things, but I can say plainly that respected and decades-long don't usually go together in that business unless somebody's actually good at the job underneath all the noise. There's a kind of trust that builds up slow, the same way regular customers on a route start to trust a driver they see every week. You don't get decades of that by accident. You get it by being reliable enough, long enough, that people stop questioning whether you'll show up.
Andrea Jaeger (b. 1965)
I'll admit I went into this one with my usual grumbling about pampered athletes who never worked a real day in their life, and Andrea Jaeger made me eat that a little. Sure, she was a top-ranked tennis player, which isn't exactly punching a clock at the plant, but what she did after she retired is what stuck with me — she founded a charity for kids with cancer and other serious illnesses, and kept at it, which is its own kind of hard work that doesn't come with trophies or a paycheck most days. I spent thirty-four years fighting for a pension clause that kept families afloat when the mill closed, and I know what it's like to put in years of unglamorous effort for people who'll never know your name. Jaeger didn't have to do any of that once the tennis career ended. She could've cashed out and disappeared, easy. Instead she built something that outlasted her playing days by a long shot. Guess talent on the court doesn't tell you much about what somebody's actually made of.
