Marco Ferradini
Marco Ferradini (born July 28, 1949 in Como ) is an Italian pop singer . He began his solo career in the 1970s.
Career
After moving to Milan , Ferradini decided to embark on a musical career. He learned guitar and singing and worked in several bands such as Balordi, Drogheria Solferino, Yu-Kung or L'enorme Maria. He also worked as a background singer in recording studios. With a participation in the Sanremo Festival 1978 he finally began his solo career. There, however , his contribution Quando Teresa verrà fell victim to the jury and did not make it to the final round. This was followed by his debut album … Ma quando Teresa verrà .
Ferradini's greatest success was the song Teorema , which was included on the 1982 EP Schiavo senza catene - soon becoming an evergreen in Italy. The text of the song came from Herbert Pagani . In the same year Ferradini also undertook a tour with Goran Kuzminac and Mario Castelnuovo, from which the live album Q Concert emerged . In 1983 he returned to Sanremo with Una catastrofe bionda without much success , followed by the album of the same name. It included Lupo solitario DJ , another hit song by the singer. In the next few years he released the albums Misteri della vita and Marco Ferradini , until after 1986 he retired from the music business. With È bello avere un amico he returned in 1991, followed by a compilation, further albums were only released with long intervals in 1995 ( Dolce piccolo mio fiore ), 2001, 2005 and 2012.
