A 1960s Italian pop group whose one big hit kept playing on the radio for decades.
If you only listen to one thing, make it 'Anna da Dimenticare.' For a sense of their earlier, simpler style, try 'Uakadi Uakadu.'
Most people who know the name I Nuovi Angeli know it because of 'Anna da Dimenticare.' That 1967 song got translated and covered by artists like Julio Iglesias, which is how a lot of listeners outside Italy first heard it. Their other singles, like 'Uakadi Uakadu' and 'Donna Felicità,' filled out a solid pop catalog from that era, but 'Anna' is the one that stuck around.
They formed in Crotone in 1964 with a clean pop sound, heard on early singles like 'Donna Rosa.' After songwriter Claudio Bardotti left in 1969, their later albums like 'Concerto per Anna' moved toward more progressive arrangements. Their recording pace slowed in the 1970s, but 'Anna da Dimenticare' kept getting airplay.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
