Rita Pavone (born 23 August 1945 in Turin, Italy) is an Italian singer and actress who rose to fame in the early 1960s with hits such as 'Datemi un martello' and 'La partita di pallone'.

Debuted in the early 1960s; known for energetic interpretations of pop and rock and roll, successful singles, and appearances in film and television.

Two DeBaser reviews remember Rita Pavone through childhood nostalgia and classic 45 RPM singles. Critics praise 'Viva la pappa col pomodoro' and note memorable B-sides like 'Che m'importa del mondo'. The pieces mix affectionate reminiscence with filmic, Felliniesque notes.

For:Fans of 1960s Italian pop, nostalgia seekers, vintage-record collectors

 But Pavone is the exception that proves the rule.

 A Felliniesque tune that transforms into a kind of rock'n'roll, a cheap little allegretto, but money well spent.
