SAVAGE - ROBERTO ZANETTI

SAVAGE, real name Roberto Zanetti, borns in Massa - Tuscany - on '56 and stars to play piano very young; as other musicians, he will plays together many groups of his region.
After to play keyboards in many italian groups, as Zucchero 'Sugar' Fornaciari, his big friend, in 1983 Roberto Zanetti decide to produce himself, with name 'Roby', the song 'Don't Cry Tonight', He'll sings it as Savage; that is the first of many success, In '80's italian disc-music appreciate in Countries of East- Europe, in these contries - as Russia - they call it "italo disco"; in the video-playlist below, we can see Russia's pubblic to remember singers as Savage better than in Italy; in east Europe Country, still now, '80's italo disco singers, are legends.
In '90's Savage continue to play music as author in the project 'Corona' ( I will review soon s possible), Alexia

GAZEBO - PAUL MAZZOLINI

GAZEBO , real name PAUL MAZZOLINI borns in Beirut on '60, he retourns quickly in Italy , his real Country; his father was an Italian diplomatic, and the mother was a not famous American singer: Gazebo couldn't to become than a musician; more specific a music author and a singer of his songs.

In '80's disc-music or 'disco dance music', was played in all Italy, all boys want to becomes Dee-jay and in every room - as today there is a desktop Pc - in '80's was a 'mixer', also if the most part of our house was only a good stereo and we were happy however .
Gazebo, after to has been pubblished by an italian talent-scout and producer, with the song 'Master piece" ( n. 3 of video-playlist below) has had a big success.
The success of italian disc-dance music went also in Russia, in Europe, in South America...
The italian disc-music market has its laws: Singers and authors could to use only their new english names; they must to said to becomes from UK (or Usa), but the big part of pubblic, for example, knows the real name of Raf only after many years from his first success...
Of course that had it reasons. if a simple new italian singer start to make disc-music the pubblic didn't buy his discs, also if the song was good: disc-music come from Usa and only Usa's singers and authors could to make good disco dance music !!1
Course that law is still live; in the most part of markets and for everything to sell.
If I talk bout 'Gazebo' someone can remember, but if I talk about "Paul mazzolini" none remember of him..
That's the reasons why many Italian singer of disc music, after the first success didn't not more...
Even big artists as Raf and Spagna didn't betrayed these laws: still now they use their 'artistic names'.
GAZEBO, owever, still sings and produces song, also if without the same success then a time...
In the video-playlist below, I add the Gazebo Greatest Hits

MARCO MASINI

MARCO MASINI borns in Florence in 1964 and now is an Italian song-writer.
Success becames after his first sanremo, with the song "Perchè lo fai" (Why You do it?), a story of an heroin-girl.
That song, is a sort of Masini's sign: many of others of his songs will be very romantic and 'disperates', as the song "Disperato"...
Also I don't love him, Masini wrote many beautiful songs, with great melodies, to respect the 'Traditional Italian Music's Style', with a text very easy to remember, but the words...
The contents of Masini's songs are too negatives, too disperates, without hope...
That is the reason why many songs of Marco Masini were considerated unlucky...
That stupid superstition has been a problem for Masini. many albums didn't sell and many tv-shows didn't whant to him, but finally, years after that stupid things ended and now Marco Masini's concerts are full of fans.
