Editor's note

Peppino di Capri and the Capri Boys' Italian rock

A Neapolitan singer who mixed Italian melodies with American rock and roll in the late 1950s.

For the blend he was known for, start with 'Champagne.' For a later, gentler side, try 'E Tu Ci Sei.'

He had a genuine hit in 1959 with 'Champagne,' which landed on charts in Italy and beyond. That song's blend of Italian melody and American rock energy felt fresh at the time, and it sparked a legal dispute in the 1960s about its origins. Songs like 'Nun E' Peccato' and 'Accarezzame' show how he worked both romantic ballads and upbeat dance tracks.

He started performing in the early 1950s with the Capri Boys. After 'Champagne' took off, his output included tracks like 'Luna Caprese' and 'Saint Tropez Twist' through the 1960s.

Peppino di Capri started performing in the early 1950s with a band called the Capri Boys. He had a hit in 1959 with 'Champagne,' which mixed Italian melodies with American rock and roll. The song did well on charts in Italy and elsewhere.

His music included romantic ballads like 'Luna Caprese' and upbeat dance tracks such as 'Saint Tropez Twist.' Some of his other songs are 'E Tu Ci Sei,' 'Nun E' Peccato,' and 'Accarezzame.'

In the 1960s, there was a legal dispute about whether 'Champagne' borrowed its melody from a French song. The case was resolved in his favor, but it was a notable episode during that time.
