Italian Heritage

50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, Music, Nostalgia, Songs

It is surprising how many singers and other entertainers (especially in USA) have Italian heritage. This program features a few of them. Dion Di Mucci had many big hits in the 50s and 60s none bigger than his smash hit Runaround Sue. Some singers preferred romantic ballads such as Gennaro Louis Vitiliano (Jerry Vale) with You Don’t Know Me or Al Martino with I Love You Because. Teen idols Walden Robert Cassotto (Bobby Darin) and Robert Ridarelli (Bobby Rydell) are represented with Dream Lover and Sway. Two prominent female singers with Italian heritage were Rosemary Victoria Yuro (Timi Yuro) with her tearjerker Hurt and top female singer Concetta Rosa Maria Franconero (Connie Francis) with one of her big hits Stupid Cupid. The Italian flavour is enhanced by three songs sung in Italian: Save Your Love from Renee & Renato; Te Amo from Umberto Tozzi and Felicita Al Bano & Romina Power.
