Lucio Battisti, emotions, thoughts and reflections 
If we were to make a name of a musical artist symbol of Italian music, at this March 17, a day of celebration for 150 years of the Unification of Italy, where I tell other stories of Italians, perhaps we would say Lucio Battisti (not to mention Fabrizio De Andrè, Mina and Rino Gaetano). The singer of Poggio Bustone represents the Italian song that the Beatles have expressed in the world pop and rock'n'roll. Contemporary music in our country has certainly developed thanks to this exceptional singer, songwriter and record producer: his commitment in fact had the effect of a change, as it was able to change your musical inclinations of the Italians. Although his vocal limitations were fairly obvious (almost hoarse voice and limited extension), Battisti has shown great fortitude and a strong personality, who went beyond the appearance of fragility, managing to dominate the Italian musical scene.
Lucio was born March 5, 1943, Poggio Bustone (Rieti). His musical debut takes place in 1962, with the group of "I Mattatori" in Naples, but after a year with ups and downs in his decision to return lands, where it joins to "Satyrs" and then "The Champions". The place is dated 1965, when Baptists were invited from the house music "El & Chris" where he met Giulio Rapetti, better known as Mogol.
result was the largest association of Italian music of the last issues: Mogol-Battisti, a''company''that will generate a record success after another, reaching the top of the charts with songs become the heritage of Italian . Needless to list them: there are so many songs of this "Award Winning" deeply embedded in the DNA of each of our countryman. Many those who began to strum the guitar on the pieces of Baptists, even more so those who hum the lyrics, often after hearing just a few verses.
With the first album recorded in 1967 Lucio immediately produces the first successes by songwriter: "For a penny" and "One Sweet Day." His first appearances, however, does not seem optimal from a purely aesthetic point of view: that hair so curly and unkempt, the handkerchief around her neck always. So much so that even appears in the top cover back.
in 1968 with "Balla Linda" Battisti took part in the Cantagiro; year later, Wilson Pickett, door-to-Sanremo "adventure." L 'final breakthrough came in the summer of 1970, the Festivalbar with "blue water, clear water." continues on: http://music.fanpage.it/lucio-battisti-emozioni-riflessioni-e-pensieri/ # ixzz1GnB5ZQNx
