August 23, 1945) is an Italian ballad and rock singer who enjoyed success through the 1960s. Pavone is also an actress. Rita Pavone was born in Turin.
In 1962 she participated in the first Festival degli Sconosciuti ("Festival of the Unknown"), a song competition for amateur artists, winning the contest. Her self-titled 1963 album, led by the hit single "La partita di pallone" ("The Ball Game") made her a national star at 17, and international attention soon followed.
In the summer of 1964 she had chart success in the United States with a record sung in English called "Remember Me", backed with "Just Once More".
In 1965, Pavone participated as a musician guest in The Ed Sullivan Show, becoming a frequent guest there until 1970. Meanwhile, Pavone scored a string of hits, both with ballads and rock songs, in Spain, where she became a teen idol. Pavone enjoyed so much fame in Spain that it was commented, during a 2005 television documentary from that country, that such success for a foreign singer there is indeed rare.
Rita Pavone in the United States sang alongside Diana Ross and The Supremes, Ella Fitzgerald, Tom Jones, Duke Ellington, Paul Anka and a number of singers of the era. It is said that Elvis Presley made a painting of her after she went to Memphis and he met her at a recording studio. Barbra Streisand recorded a duo with her. Pavone sang at Carnegie Hall in New York city during this era.
Returning to Italy, she made her debut as an actress, working in five films and participating in shows such as Giornalino di Gian Burrasca (a children TV show), Alta Pressione, Stasera Rita ("Tonight Rita") and Studio Uno, a variety show. In 1982, she participated in Come Alice ("Like Alice"), which became a hit in Italian television.
Rita Pavone starred in six movies during the 1960s; Clementine Cherie (1963), Rita la figlia americana (1965), Rita la zanzara (1966), Non stuzzicate la zanzara (1967), Little Rita nel west (1968) and La Feldmarescialla (1968). The two "zanzara" movies, together with the Giornalino di Gianburrasca (1965) were directed by Lina Wertmuller, who remains to these days one of Rita's biggest fans. Although her movie career targeted a teen audience and lacked great artistic value, her movies have found today a cult niche.
At this stage it has to be pointed out Rita Pavone was also extremely popular in the UK for a short while in late 1966 and through 1967. RCA Victor issued two of her singles in quick succession, "Heart" and "You, Only You", and both hit the UK Top 30 during this period.
In 1968 Pavone married in Switzerland her talent scout and organizer of the first song contest she won, the also well known Italian singer Teddy Reno. This event caused a scandal in the Italian society of the time because Teddy Reno (whose real name is Ferruccio Ricordi) was still married to his first wife, Ms. Livia Protti, and in Italy there was no divorce law until 1970. They re-married each other in Italy in 1971.
Later on during the 1980s she would participate in comedy films, such as 2 sul pianerottolo, Risate in salotto and Santarellina.
In 1992, Pavone returned to the United States, where she sang during a multiple artists concert that included Whitney Houston, Frank Sinatra, the Bolshoi Ballet and Cher at the Sands hotel in Atlantic City.
She then turned to acting in theater, participating in a William Shakespeare play. In 2002, Pavone had a concert at Miami's Dade Auditorium.
Pavone and her husband Reno now live in Ticino, Switzerland. They have two sons, Alessandro and Giorgio, both of whom have become involved in show business themselves, Alessandro as a radio show host and Giorgio as a rock singer.
Rita Pavone was a Senate candidate in the Italian general election of 2006. She participated as candidate for Per l'Italia nel Mondo (For Italy in the World), a centre-right list, led by minister Mirko Tremaglia, which is present only in the foreign constituencies.

Salvatore, Knight Adamo, simply known as Adamo (born 1 November 1943) is an Belgian compos
Salvatore, Knight Adamo, simply known as Adamo (born 1 November 1943) is an Belgian composer and singer of ballads, mainly in French but also in other languages. He had commercial success during the sixties and seventies, mostly in continental Europe, and also in Japan and The Continent America. Adamo has sold 100 million albums worldwide. He now lives in Belgium near the city of Mons, and is still touring. He is of Italian descent.
Adamo was born in Comiso, Sicily, Italy. His father Antonio, a well digger, emigrated to Belgium in February 1947 to work in the mines of Marcinelle, and in June of the same year, his wife, Concetta, a housewife, and their son Salvatore joined him in the town of Ghlin before moving to Jemappes. In 1950, Salvatore was bedridden for a year with meningitis. Salvatore's parents did not want their son to become a miner, so Salvatore went to a Catholic school run by the Frères des Ecoles Chrétiennes. By 1960 the family of Antonio and Concetta Adamo had seven children overall. Adamo grew up in Jemappes where he was a dedicated student at school and distinguished himself in Music and the arts, in general, from an early age, making an impression with his singing abilities. Although Adamo has spent most of his life in Belgium, he remains a citizen of Italy and a permanent resident of Belgium.
At the end of the sixties, Adamo married his wife, Nicole. Their son, Anthony, was born in 1969, while in the eighties Benjamin and then Amélie were born. At the height of Adamo's stardom, his father died by drowning on 7 August 1966.
In 1984, Adamo had heart problems which necessitated a heart bypass operation and a temporary though total withdrawal from work. Since 1993, he is a honorary UNICEF ambassador from Belgium and, in this capacity, has visited countries such as Vietnam, Lebanon, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan and others. In 2001, Adamo was named a chevalier by Albert II, King of the Belgians. In 2004, health problems forced Adamo to cancel a scheduled tour but, since 2007, he is touring again.
Adamo's early influences were the poetry of Victor Hugo, the music of French crooners such as Jacques Prévert or Georges Brassens, and the Italian canzonette. He started singing and composing his own songs from an early age. His debut was in a Radio Luxembourg competition, where he participated as singer and composer of the song "Si j'osais" ("If I dared") winning the competition's final held in Paris, in 14 February 1960.
Adamo's first hit was "Sans toi, ma mie", in 1963, from his debut album 63/64. He followed this with a series of hits, "Tombe la neige" ("Falls the snow"), "Vous permettez Monsieur" ("May I, Sir"), "La Nuit" (The Night) (1964) - "Dolce Paola" ("Sweet Paola"), "Les Filles du bord de mer" ("The girls at the beach"), "Mes mains sur tes hanches" ("My hands on your hips") (1965) - "Ton Nom ("Your Name"), "Une meche de chevaux" ("Lock of golden hair") (1966) - "Une larme aux nuages" ("Tears on the rainbow"), "Inch'Allah" (1967) - "L'amour te ressemble" ("The love resembles to you"), "F... comme femme" ("F... like woman") (1968) - "A demain sur la lune" ("Has tomorrow on the moon"), "Petit bonheur" ("Small happiness") (1969) - "Va mon bateau" ("my boat goes") (1970) - "J'avais oublié que les roses sont roses" ("I had forgotten that the pinks are pink") (1971) - "C'est ma vie" ("It's my life") (1975)...
Adamo briefly attempted movie acting when he was cast in the film Les Arnaud (1967), which starred Bourvil.
He has recorded in many languages and, besides France and Belgium, had hits in Italy, Holland, Germany, Spain and also in Japan, countries where he toured repeatedly. Adamo has had hits and toured also in Latin American countries, such as Chile, where the audience awarded him the Antorcha de Plata appreciation prize in the yearly Quinta Vergara festival, and Argentina, where he once had to sing in three different, sold-out venues in the same night.
In the eighties, Adamo's career faltered, as the style of his music was no longer fashionable. Since the nineties, however, and on the crest of a nostalgia wave, Adamo has successfully resumed composing, issuing records and touring, starting with a full season at the Casino de Paris venue in April 1990.

Chicas yé- yé: Ria Bartok
Pues sí que nos ha cundido esta semana en Francia. Regresamos con un sólido concepto de lo que es una chica yé - yé y con la biografía de la estupenda Ria Bartok, otra destacada representante del movimiento. Ria tuvo una carrera cortísima, de tan sólo dos años, pero en ese tiempo, logró cosas que otras chicas no consiguieron nunca: grabó para las mejores casas disqueras francesas, entró en las listas de Salut Les Copains (el Fonorama francés) con una facilidad pasmosa, compitió contra los mejores, obtuvo un número uno en el mercado internacional y estuvo a punto de ser lanzada en Gran Bretaña. Y, como os decíamos, hizo todo en muy poquito tiempo, de 1963 a 1965, batallando duramente con Françoise, Sylvie, Sheila y sus muchas otras rivales. ¡A saber dónde hubiese llegado Ria Bartok si hubiera podido!
Menos mal que, como solemos decir en Pop Thing, las gentes pasan, pero las obras permanecen para siempre. Pues bien, aquí tienes ya la biografía completa de Ria Bartok, que nos sirve para demostrar que, en la Francia de los 60, hubo excelentes cantantes pop. ¡Pronto volveremos a Chez Les Yé - Yés!
