Early life

edit

Adelmo Fornaciari was born 25 September 1955 in Roncocesi, afrazione(small village) nearReggio Emilia.[1][3][5]His father, Giuseppe Fornaciari, and mother, Rina Bondavalli, came from rural families.[10][11]At a young age, he was the goalkeeper ofA.C. Reggiana 1919.[12]He spent most of his childhood in the seaside town ofForte dei Marmi(Province of Lucca,Tuscany).[5][13]There, he sang in the choir and played anorganin the local church.[1]At the age of 12 or 13, he discovered American soul and blues music thanks to an African-American friend who was studying inBolognaand lived near his home. The first song he played to Fornaciari was(Sittin' On) The Dock of the BaybyOtis Redding,and this immediately inspired his interest in soul music. The friend taught Fornaciari how to play on the guitar songs by Redding,Marvin Gaye,andSam & Dave.[3][5]Fornaciari then got together with friends to playrhythm and blues,finding his own way to fuseblack musicand Mediterranean music.[3]He started writing his own songs when he was 13 or 14 years old, and after learning basic instruments, from 16 he moved on to learning thetenor saxophone.In Forte dei Marmi, he finished his technical high school studies,[10]and moved again, this time to the city ofCarrara.[4]

Career

edit

1970–1986: early career and first albums

edit

His musicalcareerbegan in 1970, with several small bands such as I Duca, Le nuove luci, I Decals, Sugar & Daniel, Sugar & Candies. At that time, he was studyingveterinary medicine;although he liked animals and the course (taking 39 out of the 51 exams),[4]he wanted to be different from his parents and withdrew from the course in order to pursue his aspirations.[4]In 1975, he went toSan Francisco,and there met the young Corrado Rustici fromNaples,his future record producer. They talked about a future collaboration on a project with Afro-American influences which was then unusual for Italy[3][10]

In 1979, Zucchero wrote "Tutto di te" byFred Bongusto,and the hit "Te ne vai" byMichele Pecora.[4]He found initial success with a band named Taxi, with whom he won theCastrocaro Music Festivalin 1981.[4]He made his first appearance in the famousSanremo Music Festivalin 1982 with the song "Una notte che vola via" but without success.[14]However, he wrote and produced the festival hit song "Lisa" by Stefano Sani.[4]In the 1983 festival, he had a similar success with "Nuvola", and went on to write four other festival songs, including "Volevo dirti", sung by Donatella Milani, which was placed second.[4][14]His first album,Un po' di Zucchero,was released the same year with moderate success.[4]Although as a young songwriter, he had great success, his solo career did not initially reach the same level of success that he and producers had expected.[4]

Disappointed with his solo career, in 1984 he temporarily moved toSan FranciscoinCalifornia,where he collaborated with his old friend Corrado Rustici.[1][4]The result of these sessions, with a backing band that included bassistRandy Jackson,was the 1985 albumZucchero & The Randy Jackson Band,and the song "Donne"(in English," Women ").[1]He again played at the Sanremo festival and, although the song "Donne" ended up in a disappointing penultimate place (due to the festival critics), it became a hit single and one of the classic Italian songs.[4][14]After the relative success ofZucchero & The Randy Jackson Band,Fornaciari joined Rustici again in California to work on a follow-up album.Rispetto(1986) (in English, "Respect" ) included several Italian hit singles, including the title track and "Come il sole all'improvviso" (in English, "Suddenly, like the sun" ). It went platinum and sold over 300,000 copies.[15]

1987–1994: breakthrough in Italy and first international successes

edit

AlthoughZucchero & The Randy Jackson BandandRispettowere commercially successful, it was the 1987 albumBlue'sthat went on to become the highest selling album in Italian history (until his following album in 1989),[1]selling 1.5 million copies in 1987 alone; it made Fornaciari a household name in Italy, and neighbouring countries.[3]The album, again produced by Rustici and featuring musical performances byClarence Clemons,The Memphis HornsandDavid Sancious,included the Italian hit singles "Con Le Mani" (in English, "With the hands" ), with lyrics byGino Paoli,the controversial "Solo una sana..." (in English "Only a healthy...." ), and the original version of "Senza una donna"(in English," Without a woman ") which later became an international hit in a duet version withPaul Young.During the following Blue's Tour Fornaciari shared the stage withJoe Cocker(for a cover of "With a Little Help From My Friends"),Ray CharlesandDee Dee Bridgewater.In the same year, he also composed the soundtrack for the filmSnack Bar Budapest,written and directed byTinto Brass.[4]

In 1989, Fornaciari and his band recorded the albumOro Incenso & Birrain Memphis. The album, which was greatly influenced by American soul music, included guest appearances byEnnio Morricone,Eric Clapton,and blues singerRufus Thomas;Fornaciari's band by that time included formerE-Street BandmemberDavid Sancious.[4]The album still stands as not only one of Fornaciari's, but also Italian most successful albums, outselling evenBlue'sand includes the Italian hit singles "Diamante"(lyrics written byFrancesco De Gregori,dedicated to Zucchero's grandmother Diamante), "Overdose (d'Amore)", "Il Mare" and "Wonderful World".[16]The single "Diamante" included new version of the song "Dune Mosse" recorded alongMiles Davis.Davis himself insisted to re-record the song with Zucchero,[4][17]describing it "interesting Mediterranean type of blues".[18]As of 2015 are reported sales of over 8 million copies.[4][19]By theRolling StoneItaliait was included among the most beautiful Italian music albums of all time.[20]

After the million selling success ofBlue'sandOro Incenso & Birrain Italy, and his live collaborations with Joe Cocker,Stevie Ray Vaughan,Eric Clapton (whom supported on tour and performed atRoyal Albert HallinLondon) and Miles Davis,[4]Fornaciari from 1990 on attempted to conquer the rest of Europe. The albumBlue'swas released the following year in the United Kingdom, and in 1990Zucchero Sings His Hits in English,an album that featured songs from theBlue'sandOro Incenso & Birraalbums, some of which translated to English by Frank Musker, was released worldwide.

"When I do the English version of a song, I lose something. I would like to find a way to translate my songs from Italian to English better, because my lyrics are very personal and I use a lot of slang, the typical Italian way to say something. When they translate this, you lose the sarcasm or irony. People in England and America only know me for ballads, but my fast songs are very sarcastic. I'm really more likeTom WaitsorCharles BukowskithanWhitney Houston".

— Zucchero, on the advice by record producers to translate songs to English to achieve international popularity.[3]

Fornaciari's best known hit "Senza una donna"(" Without a Woman "), in aduetwithPaul Young,is from this album. The first pressing of the album didn't feature the duet: the song was performed by Fornaciari only. The duet was a great success worldwide,[3]it topped theEuropean Hot 100,Italian, Belgian, Norwegian, and Swedish charts, and reached the top 3–5 in other international charts in 1991 including UK and US.[21]Other European singles from the Hits album include English versions of "Diamante", and "Wonderful World" (with Eric Clapton). Diamante was later released as a duet withRandy Crawford,a variant not available on any album until the special edition ofZu & Co.(2004). Although advised to record in English to achieve international popularity he expressed doubt; "unfortunately, the only songs you can translate easily into English are the ballads, the love songs. That is a shame".[3][21]

Between 1991 and 1993 Fornaciari continued duetting with some of the world's most famous artists, such asSting,Luciano Pavarotti,a youngAndrea Bocelli(who after the Zucchero's collaboration on "Miserere" started to get growing popularity[22]),Peter Maffay,Elton John,Brian Mayand Eric Clapton. Many of these duets would later be included in the compilationZu & Co.(2004). The 1991 was released Fornaciari's first live albumLive at the Kremlin,recorded inMoscow Kremlin1990 (being the first Western artist to perform there after the fall ofBerlin Wall[4][23]) and featuring guest appearances by Randy Crawford (onJohn Lennon's "Imagine") andToni Childs.In 1992 was invited by Brian May to perform atThe Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert,with the remaining three members ofQueen- Brian May,John DeaconandRoger Taylor,singing "Las Palabras de Amor".[3][4]He admitted having been 'terrified' before hitting the Wembley Stadium stage, as this was his first time performing live at a worldwide broadcast event.[24]In 1993 was invited byDan Aykroydto perform atHouse of Bluesin celebration of 46th birthday ofJohn Belushi,playing "Diavolo in me" and "You are so beautiful" supported byThe Blues BrothersBand.

In 1992 Fornaciari released the million selling albumMiserere.Again produced by Corrado Rustici, it was a much darker album than Fornaciari's previous works, which was made clear by the title track "Miserere" (Have Mercy), a duet withLuciano Pavarotti.[21]The "darkness" reflects his intimate personal life from the time when lived in solitude and depression after the divorce.[13][10]Elvis Costelloco-wrote the track "Miss Mary",U2'sBonowas responsible for the English version of the "Miserere", and Paul Buchanan ofThe Blue Nileco-wrote two tracks.[4]On the album and during the tour, Fornaciari was accompanied by formerSantanadrummerMichael Shrieve.The English version of the title track "Miserere" peaked at number 15 in UK.[21]The compilation albumDiamantewas released in Mexico and other Latin American countries in 1994, and was an attempt to use the same method ofZucchero sings his hits in Englishfor the Spanish and Latin American market. In 1994 Zucchero was the only Italian artist to perform at the 25th anniversary edition of theWoodstock festival.[3][4][25]
