A quiet force in Italian music, from the 1970s onward.
If you're new to Fossati, 'C'è Tempo' and 'Stasera Io Qui' are two songs that frame his style pretty well. They're both understated, but they don't fade.
Fossati's songs have a way of landing softly but sticking around. 'C'è Tempo' is a good example, it's a patient, unhurried piece of writing that doesn't need to shout. His 1983 album 'Ventilazione' even ran into censorship trouble, which tells you something about the quiet weight his work carried.
He started with the band I Giganti in 1966, then put out his first solo record, 'Poco prima dell'alba', in 1973. Albums like 'Il Grande Mare che Avvolge la Terra' and 'Discanto' followed through the '70s and '80s, alongside collaborations with folks like Mia Martini and Francesco De Gregori.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
