Gianni Morandi reviews

The Profile

Gianni Morandi (born 1944) is an Italian singer and actor from Monghidoro, active since the early 1960s and known for many popular Italian songs and long-lasting presence in Italian popular culture.

Born in 1944 in Monghidoro, Italy; singer and actor; began recording in the early 1960s and remains active. Notable songs mentioned in reviews include "Fatti mandare dalla mamma a prendere il latte", "Uno su mille", and "C'era un ragazzo...".

Three DeBaser reviews offer a mixed take: fondness for Morandi's classics, irritation at slapdash compilations, and critique of some 1968 material. "Uno su mille" is highlighted as a comeback anthem; compilations like "Primo Piano" are praised for their charming incompetence. Overall a nostalgic, sometimes critical portrait.

Notable Quotes

❝ "Primo Piano: Gianni Morandi" from 1998 is a splendid example of a collection published without any logical criteria: it is so approximative and senseless that it becomes captivating in its ugliness.

❝ "I've never cheated or bluffed and tonight I've laid bare my soul I've lost everything but found myself one in a thousand makes it but how hard is the climb"
