Bobby Solo

Born: 1945-03-18

Roberto Satti, better known as Bobby Solo (born 18 March 1945), is an Italian singer, musician, and film actor. In 1964, Solo participated in the Sanremo Music Festival with the song "Una lacrima sul viso" ("A Tear on your Face", written by "Lunero"), but affected by laryngitis, he sang with playback, which disqualified him as that was contrary to the festival regulations. The song, however, became a global hit. It was the first record to sell over one million copies in Italy, and global sales exceeded three million. It was awarded a gold disc. In the following year Solo won in the festival with the song "Se piangi, se ridi". He participated with the same song in the Eurovision Song Contest and finished in fifth place. Again in 1969 Solo participated in the Sanremo Music Festival, with the song "Zingara", together with Iva Zanicchi. His last participation in the festival was in 2003 (together with Little Tony), singing "Non si cresce mai". Source: Article "Bobby Solo" from Wikipedia in English, licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0.
