What's in a name -- Act-II

Luciano Pavarotti, has passed on.
This anecdote comes to mind.
Willie Nelson, American country singer .. at the height of his popularity.
Pavarotti, was fast becoming a “popular” celebrity (outside opera)
Pavarotti, the: Hollywood Oscars’ “Music Award” presenter.
In heavly accented English .. he announced "The winner is:
Willie Wilson." with a straight face .. seems not everyone had heard of Mr. Nelson.
