Hit that high.

Opera singers are known for striking loud pitches with their voices, especially the legendary Luciano Pavarotti. Pavarotti moved people with his voice and other singers throughout the years have hit the vocal ranges that launched him into stardom. To remember Pavarotti on what would have been his 81st birthday, here are some of the greatest and highest notes ever hit in music history.

Luciano Pavarotti — Vesti La Giubba

No one can hit a note like Pavarotti did. Many come close, but the opera singer still takes the cake. Pavarotti hits the high notes on many of his songs, but one that's especially impressive is his work on "Vesti La Giubba" from the opera "Pagliacci." Many will recognize this song from "The Untouchables" and "The Opera" episode of Seinfeld. The singer shines throughout the song, but the notes he delivers in the final minute of the song are enough to test the limits of glass.

Morten Harket — "Take on Me"

A-Ha had everyone in the '80s doing their best to hit a high note when singing along to the band's hit "Take on Me." At the end of the chorus, lead singer Morten Harket belted out a high note for the ages when his voice climbed up as he sang the word two. The way he sang the word was quite Pavarotti-like — except the pitch was even higher.

Robert Plant — "Immigrant Song"

Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin proved you don't have to have a deep voice to be a rock 'n' roll legend. Plant's voice was one of the staples of rock throughout the '70s and his ability to sing a high note was basically unheard of at the time. A perfect example of the way he was able to reach new heights on his vocals was on "Immigrant Song" The track of "Led Zeppelin III" hits you in the face immediately as Plant's voice soars in over the band.

"Ah-ahhhhhhhhhhh, ah!" Plant belts out before diving into the first verse. The song is one the band's best and some of the lead singer's strongest work with Led Zeppelin.

Freddie Mercury — "Somebody to Love"

Many consider Freddie Mercury of Queen the greatest frontman in rock ‘n’ roll history. (MARCO ARNDT/AP) Freddie Mercury just might be the greatest frontman in rock 'n' roll history. It wasn't just because of his performance and on-stage charisma, but because he had a voice that was unlike any other. Mercurry had an incredible range on vocals and a perfect example of this is his work on Queen's "Somebody to Love." The lead singer works every range on the track, hitting great heights all throughout the song. It all builds up to an epic conclusion at the end of the song, where Mercury hits high note singing "Somebody to" before dropping his voice back down to sing "love." The rest of the band then jumps back into the song, wrapping up one the best singles from the Hall of Fame rock band.

Whitney Houston — "I Will Always Love You"

Talk about one of the all-time great singers.

Whitney Houston impressed many with her ability to hold a note and just the sheer strength of her singing voice. When it comes to powerful high notes, there are many candidates in her body of work, but there's one that usually comes to mind first. Houston puts on a clinic during the 4:31 long song that builds up to an epic finale. The way she belts out "And I will always love you," is a song moment thats often imitated, but rarely duplicated.

When The Darkness burst onto the music scene with "I Believe in a Thing Called Love," many couldn't believe what they were listening to. Justin Harkins' high pitched vocals were out of this world and it was like an opera singer was the frontman of a rock band. Harkins croons and howls all throughout the song, which is catchy and guranteed to get stuck in your head. At times it sounds like he's yodeling, but it still makes for a fun track with plenty of unexpected high notes. While it seemed like no one would come along who sang like Houston, Adele has made a name for herself thanks to her powerful and beautiful singing voice. Her vocal range becomes abundantly clear on "Rolling in the Deep." Adele holds notes all throughout the chorus in the song and sings her heart out on each note. It's no wonder the song won a Grammy for Record and Song of the year in 2012.

Steven Tyler — "Crazy"

Aerosmith's Steven Tyler has a shriek that could intimidate a banshee.

Tyler's voice was a key ingredient of what made Aerosmith one of the biggest bands in the world. His high pitched yells immediately let you know you were listening to one of the band's songs. On "Crazy," Tyler howls in a range many vocalists can only dream of reaching. Pavarotti may have owned the opera, but Tyler stands tall in rock arenas all around the world.
