Editor's note

Riccardo Fogli, from Pooh to solo Italian pop

A Tuscan singer who left a band to find his own voice in the 1970s.

For a quick sense of his style, try "Che Notte è" or "Io Ti Porto Via." They're straightforward, melodic Italian pop from a guy who knew how to write a tune.

Fogli's 1976 single "Tanta voglia di lei" was a major hit that defined his solo turn. Songs like "Dio Come Vorrei" and "Che Notte è" kept his sound in Italian homes for years. He wasn't flashy, just a steady presence on the radio through the '70s and '80s.

He started as the vocalist for Pooh in 1966, singing on early tracks like "Nascerò con te." After leaving in 1973, he built a solo catalog with albums such as "Il sole, la pioggia e il vento." Later records like "Le infinite vie del cuore" showed he kept recording into the '90s.
