Italian singer-songwriter and accordionist from Naples; known for the hit Ancora (Sanremo 1981); active since the late 1970s; his repertoire blends Italian pop, Neapolitan song, and jazz influences.

The reviews spotlight Ancora—its Sanremo moment and enduring popularity—and praise the 1981 album around it. Another review warms to La vita è un'altra as a later, pop-leaning set with romantic tones. Across both, De Crescenzo’s voice, Neapolitan roots, and jazz-shaded turns are highlighted.
