[[Luciano Pavarotti]], in a 1988 interview for the Swedish daily newspaper ''[[Svenska Dagbladet]]'', stated:
<blockquote>
When I'm about to train a new opera, I first listen to how Jussi Björling did it. His voice was unique and it's his path that I want to follow. I would more than anything else wish that people compared me with Jussi Björling. That's how I'm striving to sing.<ref>{{in lang|sv}} [http://www.svd.se/kulturnoje/nyheter/artikel_16472.svd "Hemma hos Pavarotti"] ''[[Svenska Dagbladet]]''. Retrieved 29 June 2013.</ref>
