Peppino Gagliardi (25 May 1940 – 9 August 2023) was an Italian singer.[1]
Life and career
Peppino Gagliardi was born in Naples on 25 May 1940. His first hit in Italy came in 1963 with "T'amo e t'amerò". In 1970, he had another big hit with the song "Settembre" and more hits followed in the early 1970s.
Gagliardi achieved two-second placings at the Sanremo Music Festival: in 1972 with "Come le viole" and in 1973 with "Come un ragazzino". His music declined in popularity in the 1980s and 1990s. His last entry at the Sanremo Music Festival was "L'alba" in 1993.
One of his songs, "Che vuole questa musica stasera", is part of the original soundtrack of Scent of a Woman by Dino Risi, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. by Guy Ritchie, The Ruthless by Renato De Maria, and Welcome Home by George Ratliff. The song was also used in an episode of Season 2 of the Belgian series Professor T.
Gagliardi died in Rome on 9 August 2023, after a long illness, at the age of 83.[2]
