Performer Notes

The word "zucchero" is Italian for "sugar." The artist Zucchero is Italian for hit-maker. This 1997 collection features the sugary-voiced singer's biggest hits, including "Sensa Una Donna," "Diamante," and "Diavola In Me." Includes three bonus tracks, one of which is a reworking of the classical number "Va Pensiero."
In the late 1980s and throughout the '90s, Zucchero (a.k.a. Adelmo Fornaciari) was one of the biggest musical stars in Italy, thanks to his fine songwriting and powerful, emotive singing. THE BEST OF ZUCCHERO provides a fine overview of the singer-songwriter's career, and includes his biggest hits as well as unreleased tracks. Though he is sometimes compared to countryman Andrea Bocelli, Zucchero has more of a rock-&-roll edge to his singing and composing, bringing a happy and sometimes propulsive energy to his take on adult contemporary pop.
Zucchero also broadens his appeal by singing in both Italian and English, and both are equally affecting, thanks to his rough-hewn, though quite lyrical voice (which bears a resemblance, at times, to Peter Gabriel's). Whether on atmospheric mid-tempo tracks ("Eppure Non T'amo"), surging ballads ("Senza Una Donna"), or uptempo rockers ("Diavolo In Me"), Zucchero has something for everyone, and BEST OF is the best place to sample his talents.
