A postwar Italian singer whose voice and songs like 'Gloria' found a wide audience.
For a quick frame, listen to 'Gloria' and 'Ho Un Sassolino Nella Scarpa'. They give you the feel.
He recorded 'Gloria' in 1951, and it stuck as one of his best-known tracks. His baritone and stage presence carried through songs like 'Ho Un Sassolino Nella Scarpa' and 'Mille Lire Al Mese'. That music, not the lore about a love triangle or a thousand recordings, is what people actually remember.
He started performing at 17, but World War II interrupted his early career. After the war, his voice found a wider audience, and he kept performing into his later years, sometimes working with his wife Angela Luce or accordionist Gorni Kramer.
