Italian pop/rock singer with enormous success on the domestic market in the sixties, but also big seller in USA, Spain and Germany. After winning a 1962 talent contest at age 16, she got to record her first album a year later. A single from it "La Partita di Pallone" and the English version "The Ball Game" became million sellers in Europe and USA. She was a frequent guest at Ed Sullivan Show and toured with some of the biggest US stars. Elvis had a thing for her and she recorded duets with Paul Anka and Barbara Streisand. As a ten year year old 1964 I was in love and listened to the single "Clementine Cherie"/"Come Te Non C'e'Nessuno" over and over again. Today the pop/rock style and orchestral arrangements on this debute LP sounds dated, yet her young natural voice makes it appealing. Sometimes she hits it and sometimes not, but all the time with girlish spree and enthusiasm. I may not be in love anymore, but certainly charmed. First Italian press with label as shown here, very thick unflexible vinyl and stiff laminated cover. (FÄV*) (FÖGÄ*) (ÖTALÖ*)
