简介：by Dave Thompson\n \nThe Italian winner of the 1990 Eurovision Song Contest, Toto Cutugno was born Salvatore Cutugno on July 7, 1943, in the northern Tescan town of Fosdinovo. A drummer as a youth, he turned to songwriting in the early '70s, and went on to compose hits for such European stars as Joe Dassin, Mireille Mathieu, Dalida, Johnny Halliday, Michel Sardou, Claude François and Gigliola Cinquetti. He also performed his material with his own band Albatross and, in 1976, the band released its self-titled debut album. That same year, Albatross (performing the song "L'Albatross") placed third at the San Remo Music Festival. They were back again in 1977, performing "Gran Premio," since when Cutugno has visited the event on no less than a dozen further occasions. A solo artist now, he claimed victory just once, in 1980 with "Solo Noi" ("Only Us"). However, he would place second in 1984 with "Serenata" ("Serenade"), in 1987 with "Figli" ("Sons"), in 1988 with "Emozioni" ("Emotions"), and in 1989 with "Le Mamme" ("The Mothers"). A prolific recording artist throughout the '80s, his album releases included 1980s solo debut Voglio l'Anima and Innamorata, Innamorato, Innamorati, 1981's La Mia Musica, L'Italiano in 1983, and Mediterraneo and Cofanetto in 1987. 1990 saw Cutugno return to the San Remo event, performing alongside Ray Charles. Cutugno's "Gli Amori" (recorded by Charles as "Good Love Gone Bad") finished runner-up once again, but a greater triumph was just around the corner, as Cutugno's "Insieme 1992" ("Together 1992"), a song celebrating the upcoming unification of Europe's EEC membership, won the Eurovision Song Contest. His next album, Insieme, understandably remains Cutugno's best known. His output slowed during the '90s and beyond. 1992's Non E Facile Essere Uomini was followed by Canzoni Nacoste (1997), Il Treno Va (2002) and Cantando (2004). 2005, however, saw Cutugno return to the spotlight when he joined singer Annalisa Minetti to perform "Come Noi Nessuno Al Mondo," the title track from his latest album. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the pairing finished second once again. 简介：Toto Cutugno之所以走上音乐这条道路，是受了他父亲的极大影响，这位小号手在托托年少时就培养他对音乐的兴趣。成年之后的托托辗转于不同乐队以自我磨练，直到有一天成立了‘Toto e Tati’，能够表演自己的作品。作为一个意大利人，托托最初的音乐却是献给法国人的，1975年为法国歌手乔易.达桑(Joe Dassin) 所作的单曲“L’été indien” 成了排行榜热门金曲，托托也随着他的法语歌蜚声欧陆，之后那首“Et sit u n’existes pas”更让Joe Dassin 家喻户晓，托托自己已成为了法语乐坛抢手的词曲作者，达丽达(Dalida)，乔尼.哈利代(Johnny holliday)，克罗德.佛朗所瓦(Claude Fran??ois )， 米歇尔.萨尔多(Michel Sardou)等等。这些法国成名歌手都和这位意大利人合作过。 托托直到八十年代才从幕后制作转向前台演唱，自身真正的实力让他首次登台就不同寻常，1980年在San Remo音乐节上凭借单曲&quot;Solo Noi.&quot;一鸣惊人，而“L’Italiano”更占据意大利流行乐排行榜首六周之久。<br/>
