When you think of operatic pop groups, Il Divo is probably the first to spring to mind. The group of four have glorious voices and never disappoint with their onstage performances. They sang the classic Dolly Parton hit, "I Will Always Love You," but put their own stamp on it, and it was a huge success.

The 4-member group was put together by Simon Cowell in 2003. According to Classic.fm, he traveled around the world to find the perfect people for the group, and it worked out. The singers are Spanish baritone Carlos Marin, 51, Swiss tenor Urs Bühler, 48, French tenor Sébastien Izambard, 47, and the American tenor David Miller, 47.

In this performance, the talented quartet sang a cover of the famous Dolly Parton song, "I Will Always Love You." Although Parton first released the song in 1974, it has become associated with the 1992 version sung by Whitney Houston, which was recorded for the film "The Bodyguard."

Although the iconic song is not usually sung by a group of men, especially in the classical crossover style of Il Divo, their version worked a treat! People loved it so much that the video has amassed over 9 million views.

This is just one of their spectacular performances. Since the release of their debut album, the self-titled "Il Divo," in 2004, the musicians have been global superstars.

Classic.fm reports that they've had more than 25 million album sales, 150 gold and platinum discs, and have the only crossover classical album to reach the US Billboard No. 1 spot. That's quite an accolade!
