The Great Italian American Songbook - Italian American Legendary Artists
A perfect collection that encapsulates "The Italian American Golden Era" of Italian American music. Here you will experience the magic of these classic hits, heartfelt ballads and velvety vocals with the unparalleled artistry of these iconic crooners. So come with me and let us journey through these timeless sounds of the Great Italian American Songbook. Let's celebrate the great music of Italian-American singers from our Italian Heritage, we'll Feature all the major stars and maybe even a few you didn't know were Italian.
From 1947-1954, there were 25 Italian-Americans who had chart-topping hits in the world of American Popular Music. You may say that the Great American Songbook was shaped, at least in part, by these Italian interpreters. On these Videos/Playlist we'll salute the Italian-American crooners hearing both well-known standards as well as songs from their Italian heritage.
In the later twentieth century Italian American vocal artists continued to exert a major influence on popular culture in the United States. While famous Italian American singers such as Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, and Dean Martin, Louis Prima, Tony Bennett, Jerry Vale, Al Martino, Vic Damone, Connie Francis and let us not forget Russ Columbo (all Italian-American crooners owe a great deal of debt to, who was the first Italian-American crooner) were influenced by their Italian heritage in their English-Language recordings, of Italian-language songs sometimes became hits for various American popular singers, such as the traditional song, "Santa Lucia," "O Sole Mio" and Maria Mari" by Giovanni Capurro and Eduardo di Capua, also "Volare," by Franco Migliacci and Domenico Modugno.
Italian-Americans continued to stay relevant in the industry during the late 1960’s, 1970’s, 1980’s, and even to today. Artists such as Frank Zappa, Jim Croce, Bruce Springsteen, Ronnie James Dio, Peter Criss of Kiss, Madonna, Jon Bon Jovi, and Lady Gaga are all of Italian descent.
