Adrian, your story is like a rock
In the summer of '59, with "Your kiss is like a rock," Adriano Celentano for the first time reached the top of the Hit Parade. Followed "24,000 kisses" and many other "number one", the most recent in 2007. "Adriano Celentano. The name was enough to make up all the gaming tables of the House of the People of my country and, with the remaining cards in hand, to stand in front of the television in silence drenched in joy, "recalls Roberto Benigni in the preface of" Blue " one of the 14 albums (and many books) that are part of the exclusive collection on sale with Smiles from December 2. "Not even going to Berlinguer" continues Benigni. "Adriano Celentano, religious and sensual. A cross between Pope John and Brigitte Bardot. " A charism, as described so well by Benigni, who made a superstar of Celentano unique in the history of the Italian show, able to make his mark (not only in music but also in film and TV) in each of the last seven decades, from Years 50 Years 10 infants.
The collection starts with Smiles "I can not speak of love" in '99, an album of two million copies to be made immortal songs like "The emotion has no voice" and "The Rainbow", written by Gianni Bella and Mogul. It continues from 9 December, with "Blue" of '68 and another 12 albums released between '66 and 2007. The oldest is "The Glock", which takes its title from one of his most famous songs: "It is full of a melancholy poetry and anger," he writes in the preface of the album Dario Fo. "It's affected hand to the brutality of entrepreneurs who, in cahoots with the managers of the city, pave poor homes of low income and then to erect huts and skyscrapers." The collection will end on March 3 with "Geppo the crowds," the soundtrack of the visionary films of '78, which Cocker was also director, writer, producer, editor and designer. One of the many choices of a daring artist, Walter Veltroni wrote in the preface, "has crossed styles, sounds, costumes, to give us in every song, emotion and vitality."
