Supertramp - In the eye of the Storm EDIT la canzone è di Roger Hodgson (cantante dei Supertramp) - Had a dream (I was born in the eye of the storm)ĭuran Duran - Is there something I should know?, Planet Earth Julian Cope - Greatnes and Perfection of Love (pressochè irrintracciabile) Una nota: è Masterpiece e non Masterplace quella di Gazebo (Edit: il sito che ho indicato vale solo per la lista.) (recuperate ambedue appena appena poco prima che AudioGalaxy andasse in malora) ma mi chiedo: di certe canzoni, quelle che non sono più in vendita, che se ne fanno dei diritti se poi non le vendono e se poi chiudono questi siti che le raccolgono?Īppena riaprono lì ci sono le canzoni conosciute e Soprattutto quelle sconosciute e una luunghiiiiissssiiiimaaaaaaa lista :D (un gruppo - di cui si sentì solo questa canzone, secondo me bellissima, sullo stile dei Roxy Music come commenta lì un utente - e poi scomparve) Solo per vedere se qualcuno se ne ricorda e le apprezzò: Vi si possono fare richieste per info su canzoni di cui si ricorda qualcosaĮ segnalo anche queste che ho trovato (risalenti ai tempi bui e perduti dell'adolescenza) con lo scomparso AudioGalaxy, He is always modest, pays attention to his privacy in the Piedmontese province, devotes himself to painting as well as music, and has nothing to do with modern technology such as smartphones or social media.Se andate su (fino a ieri sera funzionava) nw sta per NewWave e ne trovate la lista pressochè completa di tutte le canzoni del genere, insomma quelle melodiche - cioè quasi tutte le hits degli '80 The songwriter is often described as a mix of Duke Ellington – one of Conte’s great role models -, Tom Waits and French chansonniers.Įven if the Italian music world looks up to him, Conte has not become a diva – on the contrary. He plays heavy, demanding, melancholy jazz as well as lively dance songs, and mixes the cheeky kazoo’s horns into piano pieces. He’s not a divaĬonte is a musical all-rounder, he is not interested in conventions. In 1979 he made his breakthrough with the album “Un Gelato Al Limon”. He then wrote the hit “Azzurro” for the singer and actor Celentano, who was already known at the time.Ĭonte was not enthusiastic about his own voice, which is why it took more years before he dared to take the stage as an interpreter. Conte wrote his first songs during a law lecture, as he later recalled. In fact, he then studied law and joined his father’s office.Īt first, music was just a hobby. But they didn’t think much of the musician profession – Paolo, like his brother, father, grandfather and uncle, was supposed to become a lawyer or notary. There he got to know jazz from his parents at an early age, because both were enthusiastic amateur pianists. He was born into a family of lawyers in the wine town of Asti in the northern Italian region of Piedmont. “Sometimes it seems to me that all my life I have sung for these speechless and longing men of the post-war era.” He was supposed to be a lawyer In 2010 he told the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” about a “collective sadness in my generation”. When the artist started in the 1960s and 70s, his addressees were primarily men who developed “a certain kind of melancholy” within themselves during and after the Second World War. Paolo Conte’s music reaches people in the most varied of moments and emotional states. In the darkest Corona hours at the beginning of 2020, many Italians sang “Azzurro” on their balconies in lockdown, encouraging each other. He composed the song first for Adriano Celentano and later included it in his own program. In addition to hits like “Sparring Partner” or “Via con me”, one of Italy’s unofficial anthems also comes from Conte – the world-famous “Azzurro”. He sings about lemon ice cream and the love for his wife (“Un Gelato al Limon”), about jazz (“Sotto le Stelle del Jazz”), about a legendary racing cyclist (“Bartali”) and about an entire continent (“Sudamerica”) ). Lemon ice cream and a racing driverĬonte has written songs in different genres that have their place in the national canon. The musician will be 85 years old on Thursday (January 6th). “He is the prince of Italian music, a nobleman, he is the greatest, he towers over everyone,” enthused actor and director Roberto Benigni most recently in a film documentary about his longtime friend and artist colleague. With his music and smoky voice, however, the songwriter from Piedmont has shaped an entire country for half a century. Rome – When Paolo Conte sits at the piano with narrowed eyes and a slightly wrinkled nose, he doesn’t necessarily look like the grand master of Italy’s “Cantautori”. But then he wrote “Azzurro” for Adriano Celentano, a little later he dared to take the stage himself and became one of Italy’s greatest musicians. Music is actually just a hobby of the lawyer Paolo Conte. Paolo Conte at the opening of the Montreux Jazz Festival 2018.
