Lucio Dalla (Italian pronunciation: [lut dalla]; 4 March 1943 – 1 March 2012) was an Italian singer-songwriter, singer, and actor. He has played clarinet and keyboards as well.
Dalla was the author of "Caruso" (1986), a song dedicated to Italian opera tenor Enrico Caruso, and "L'anno che verrà" (1979).
Personal life
Lucio Dalla was outed as gay after his funeral (at which his longtime companion and partner Marco Alemanno, with whom he had shared a house, spoke) but he didn't have to discuss it publicly during his lifetime, saying "I don't feel gay" in 1979.
This outing sparked controversy about Italian society's attitudes toward homosexuality.
Solo career
Affected by the end of the collaboration, Dalla decided to write the lyrics of his next albums himself. The first album of this new phase was Com'è profondo il mare (1977), in which Dalla was accompanied by members of future pop band Stadio.
In 1979, his popularity was confirmed by the success of the Banana Republic album and the first of two self-titled albums, Lucio Dalla, followed by Dalla in 1980.
The song "Caruso", released in 1986, has been covered by numerous international artists such as Luciano Pavarotti and Julio Iglesias. The version sung by Pavarotti sold over 9 million copies, and another version was a track on Andrea Bocelli's first international album, Romanza, which sold over 20 million copies worldwide. Maynard Ferguson also covered the song on his album "Brass Attitude", after having previously paid tribute to Caruso with his rendition of "Vesti la giubba" (titled as "Pagliacci") on the album Primal Scream.
The 1990 hit single "Attenti al lupo" gave Dalla wider success in Europe. He was invited to duet on Pavarotti and friends, singing his hit "Caruso" with Pavarotti.
In 2010, Dalla came back to work with Francesco De Gregori during the "Work in Progress" tour and album. Dalla's main influences were to be found in jazz, but his songs ranged from folk ("Attenti al lupo") and pop ("Lunedì"), from Italian singer-songwriters (the albums from Com'è profondo il mare to Dalla) to classical and opera ("Caruso").
