Biography
Lucio Dalla, this year's composer of the Italian entry is a singer in his own right. Being very popular in Italy, his biggest European success came, when he wrote and recorded the song Caruso in 1986. Initially not a big success in the rest of Europe, it was rush released again in 1990, when Luciano Pavarotti released his 1988 version. As Luciano's version hit a lot of charts in continental Europe, it is no wonder that in the course of this success Lucio Dalla's version also charted in several of these countries. Caruso would remain Lucio's only European chart success, but it started Luciano Pavarotti's career in popular classical music. He would hit the European charts again with songs like Nessun Dorma (None Shall Sleep) and O Sole Mio! On the album front his popular albums with the 3 Tenors and as Pavarotti & Friends (for War Child) were big successes.
