Viva Italia! Festive Italian Classics CD


Our Price: $9.15 For Sale Usually ships in 1-2 days

20 pop songs recorded in Italian, or at least in English with heavily Italian-oriented themes, for RCA in the 1950s and 1960s. This is Italian (or Italo-American) pop at its most middle-of-the-road and sentimental, which could serve as either a recommendation or a warning. Includes selections by Lou Monte, Perry Como, Sergio Franchi, Domenico Modugno (the massive hit "Volare"), and even a number by Sophia Loren, among others. ~ Richie Unterberger

Includes liner notes by Mike Omansky.

All tracks have been digitally remastered.

Compilation producer: Paul Williams.
