专辑简介

Italian singer/songwriter Lucio Battisti was born on March 5, 1943, in the small town of Poggio Bustone, in Rieti, Italy. His family relocated to Rome in 1950, and by the mid-'60s, Battisti was performing in local bands, one of which was named Campioni. Interested in pursuing a career in music, Battisti relocated to Milan , where he sought the aid of a French talent scout, Christine Leroux. Battisti continued to write tunes for others in the late '60s, as well as issuing his inaugural solo singles . 1969 saw another one of Battisti's compositions, "Il Paradiso ," become a hit in the U.K. when covered by the group Amen Corner, hitting the number one spot on the singles chart. The same year, Battisti issued his self-titled debut full-length, which spawned such Italian hits as "Acqua Azzurra, Acqua Chiara" and "Mi Ritorni in Mente." Battisti continued to issue solo albums on a regular basis throughout the '70s, as he in 1977, and even issued an album that featured some of his biggest hits re-recorded in English .
