Hi Noel,
you're right
Italian is a good language for songs.
We had several good groups in 60's up to 80's
I name here the best to me:
Pooh, Orme, Equipe 84, Dik Dik, Nuovi Angeli, New Trolls,
Camaleonti.
and singers too: Lucio Battisti, Mina (that was born in my town Cremona) Gianni Morandi, Little Tony, Domenico Modugno and others..
To me the best was Ivan Graziani.
I don't know if you ever heard talking about him in your country. He made good songs and he was a great guitarist too

in my mp3 collection Italian music represent a small part of it.
Maybe a day I'll make a song (Italian or English)we will see.
Hello friend.
