Zucchero
Zucchero (Italian for "sugar") is an Italian rock singer. He was born Adelmo Fornaciari on September 25, 1955 in the Italian province Reggio Emilia and has since become one of the most famous Italian singers.
He is probably best known internationally for the song Senza Una Donna. He commenced his musical career in 1970 with his first single in 1976, and his first album in 1983. His music, both in Italian and in English, is largely inspired by gospel music, and alternates between syrupy ballads and more rythmic boogie-like pieces. He sang several duets, in public or on disc, with Joe Cocker, Miles Davis, Paul Young, Sting, Luciano Pavarotti, and Johnny Hallyday.
In 1999, he collaborated with singer Tom Jones for a track on the latter's album Reload.
