Salvatore Cutugno nasce a Fosdinovo (Massa-Carrara) il 7 luglio 1943. Il padre, di origine siciliana, è maresciallo di marina, mentre la madre è casalinga. Dopo pochi mesi dalla nascita del futuro cantautore, la famiglia si trasferisce a La Spezia. E' il padre, il quale suona la tromba come hobby, a far conoscere la passione per la musica al figlio. Quando il giovane Toto vuole suonare la batteria trova quindi in casa l'incoraggiamento necessario. A soli tredici anni partecipa ad un concorso regionale al quale si classifica terzo.
Nella prima metà degli anni '60 fa le sue prime esperienze suonando la batteria in vari gruppi, tra cui i "Nostradamus", i "Cocci di vaso" e gli "Accadimenti Terapeutici". L'esperienza più fortunata con la quale trova qualche affermazione è quella con il gruppo "Ghigo e i goghi".
Nel 1976 calca per la prima volta il palco di Sanremo; con il gruppo degli "Albatros" presenta il brano "Volo AZ504" che si classifica terza. L'anno dopo è di nuovo al Festival con "Gran premio".

Ha raggiunto la vetta delle classifiche, sia come interprete dei propri brani, sia come produttore e autore di canzoni per altri, in particolare per Adriano Celentano, a cavallo tra gli anni settanta e ottanta.
Ha partecipato, da solista, in coppia o insieme a un gruppo, a 15 edizioni del Festival di Sanremo, vincendolo una sola volta nel 1980, giungendo sei volte secondo e una volta terzo; riguardo a tale manifestazione canora, ha inoltre piazzato nei primi tre posti anche alcuni brani da lui scritti per altri artisti. Nel 1990 ha vinto l'Eurovision Song Contest.
E' inutile suonare, qui non vi aprira' nessuno
il mondo l'abbiam chiuso fuori con il suo casino
una bugia coi tuoi
il frigo pieno e poi
un calcio alla TV
solo io, solo tu.

E' inutile chiamare, non rispondera' nessuno
il telefono e' volato fuori giu' dal quarto piano
era importante sai
pensare un poco a noi
non stiamo insieme mai
ora si, ora qui

Soli
la pelle come un vestito
soli
nel cuore guarda chi c'e': io e te
soli
le briciole nel letto
soli
ma stretti un po' di piu'
solo io, solo tu

il mondo dietro ai vetri sembra un film senza sonoro
e il tuo pudore amando rende il corpo tuo piu' vero
sei bella quando vuoi
bambina, donna e poi
non mi deludi mai
e' cosi' che mi vai

Soli
lasciando la luce accesa
soli
mangiando un panino in due, io e te
soli
col tempo che si e' fermato
soli
pero' finalmente noi
e' di piu' cosa vuoi
Na... na... na...
Soli
lasciando la luce accesa
soli
mangiando un panino in due, io e te.

SONGWRITERS: RICHARD RODGERS & LORENZ HART
COUNTRY: u.S.A.
ALBUM: DREAM WITH DEAN
LABEL: REPRISE
GENRE: POP
YEAR: 1964

Dream with Dean is a 1964 studio album by Dean Martin, produced by Jimmy Bowen.
This was the first of two albums that Martin released in 1964. Dream with Dean peaked at 15 on the Billboard 200. The album features "Everybody Loves Somebody" with a quartet accompaniment, Martin was to re-record the song with strings later in 1964, and it would become his second single to top the Billboard Hot 100.
The initial Billboard review from 22 August 1964 praised the selection of material on the album and wrote that "As long as the performer is Dean Martin, you've got to see the words "sales" and "airplay" light up".
Joe Viglione on Allmusic.com gave the album three stars out of five. Viglione said that if the album had "one drawback, it is that the 12 songs are incessant in their providing the same atmosphere...not only a very pleasant listening experience, it shows what a tremendous vocalist Dean Martin truly was". Vigilone describes Martin as performing as if "he were a lounge singer at 1:15 a.m. as the Saturday night crowd is dwindling".
Dean Martin(born Dino Paul Crocetti; June 7, 1917 – December 25, 1995) was an American actor, singer and comedian. One of the most popular and enduring American entertainers of the mid-20th century, Martin was nicknamed "The King of Cool" for his seemingly effortless charisma and self-assurance.
Martin gained his career breakthrough together with fellow comedian Jerry Lewis, billed as Martin & Lewis, in 1946. They performed in nightclubs and later had numerous appearances on radio, television and in films. Following an acrimonious ending of the partnership in 1956, Martin pursued a solo career as a performer and actor.
Martin established himself as a notable singer, recording numerous contemporary songs as well as standards from the Great American Songbook. He became one of the most popular acts in Las Vegas and was known for his friendship with fellow artists Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., who together formed the Rat Pack.
Starting in 1964, Martin was the host of the television variety program The Dean Martin Show, which centred on Martin's singing talents and was characterized by his relaxed, easy-going demeanour. From 1974 to 1984 he was roastmaster on the popular Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, which drew notable celebrities, comedians and politicians.
Throughout his career, Martin performed in concert stages, nightclubs, audio recordings and appeared in 85 film and television productions. His relaxed, warbling, crooning voice earned him dozens of hit singles, including his signature songs "Memories Are Made of This", "That's Amore", "Everybody Loves Somebody", "You're Nobody till Somebody Loves You", "Sway", "Ain't That a Kick in the Head?" and "Volare".
Blue moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms could ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
When I looked to the moon it turned to gold

Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart without a love of my own

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked the moon had turned to gold

Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart without a love of my own
Without a love of my own without a love of my own.
SALUT
JOE DASSIN
COMPOSITEUR: SALVATORE “TOTO” CUTUGNO; VERSIÓN: PIERRE DELANOË & CLAUDE LE MESLE 
PAYS: FRANCO-AMERICAINE
ALBUM: LE COSTUME BLANC
RECORD: CBS DISQUES
GENRE: CHANSON
ANNÉE: 1975

Salut is a song performed by Joe Dassin from his 1975 album Joe Dassin (Le Costume blanc)(CBS 81147).
It was also released as a single, in 1976 with "Et si tu n'existais pas" on the other side.
It is a French adaptation, par Pierre Delanoë and Claude Lemesle, of an Italian song, "Uomo dove vai" (by Toto Cutugno).
It is one of the most famous songs by Joe Dassin.
Joseph Ira Dassin, dit Joe Dassin, né le 5 novembre 1938 à New York et mort le 20 août 1980 à Papeete(Tahiti), est un chanteur, compositeur et écrivain américano-français. En seize ans de carrière (1964-1980), il a connu de nombreux succès em France, dans la francophonie, mais aussi ailleurs, notamment en Russie, en Finlande, en Grèce et en Allemagne. Joe Dassin a vendu plus de 50 millions de disques dans le monde dont près de 17 millions en France avec 10 millions de singles et 7 millions d'albums
Fin 1979, Joe Dassin n'a qu'une idée en tête: se faire plaisir. C'est dans cette optique qu'il part aux États-Unis pour enregistrer son nouvel album Blue Country, album country-blues dont la majorité des titres sont des reprises de Tony Joe White. Le single composé de Si je dis je t'aime et Faut pas faire de la peine à John sort simultanément avec l'album. Celui-ci est plutôt bien accueilli par la critique mais pas par le public.
Au cours de l'année 1980, l'album Blue Country est traduit en anglais et devient Home Made Ice Cream. Le disque sort alors dans plus de 25 pays. La santé de Joe Dassin se détériore à cette époque. Em décembre 1979, une alerte cardiaque, doublée d'une opération due à un ulcère à l'estomac, l'oblige à annuler toutes ses tournées. Dans les mois qui suivent, il multiplie les malaises cardiaques, exacerbés par le stress (notamment la procédure juridique concernant la garde de ses enfants depuis son divorce en 1977), l'alcool et la drogue. Il sort tout de même un ultime single, The Guitar Don't Lie, qui figure sur son dernier album Le Marché aux puces. C'est Tony Joe White en personne qui se charge de mettre un texte sur cette composition. Fin juillet 1980, Joe est à nouveau victime d'un infarctus et est hospitalisé à l'hôpital américain de Neuilly.
Salut! C'est encore moi!
Salut, c'est encore moi!
Salut, comment tu vas?
Le temps m'a paru très long
Loin de la maison j'ai pensé à toi

J'ai un peu trop navigué
Et je me sens fatigué
Fais-moi un bon café
J'ai une histoire à te raconter

Il était une fois quelqu'un
Quelqu'un que tu connais bien
Il est parti très loin
Il s'est perdu
Il est revenu

Salut, c'est encore moi!
Salut, comment tu vas?
Le temps m'a paru très long
Loin de la maison j'ai pensé à toi
Bababa ban ban ban

Tu sais, j'ai beaucoup changé
Je m'étais fait des idées
Sur toi, sur moi, sur nous
Des idées folles, mais j'étais fou
Tu n'as plus rien à me dire
Je ne suis qu'un souvenir
Peut-être pas trop mauvais
Jamais plus je ne te dirai

Salut, c'est encore moi!
Salut, comment tu vas?
Le temps m'a paru très long
Loin de la maison j'ai pensé à toi
Bababa.

Up a lazy river by the old mill run
The lazy, lazy river in the noon day sun
Linger in the shade of a kind old tree
Throw away your troubles
Dream a dream with me-ee
Up a lazy river where the robin's so-ong
Awakes the bright new morning
Where we can move along
Blue skies up above, everyone's in love
Up a lazy river, how happy you could be
Up a lazy river-er with me
Up a lazy river by the old mill run
The lazy, lazy river in the noon day sun
Linger in the shade of a kind old tree
Throw away your troubles
Dream a dream with me
Up a lazy river where the robin's song
Awakes the bright new mornin'
Where we can move along
Blue skies up above, everyone's in love
Up a lazy river, how happy you could be
Up a lazy river-er with me
Woh, up a lazy river by the o-old mill run
The lazy, lazy river in the noo-oon day sun
Linger in the shade of a kind old tree
Throw away your-our troubles
Dream a dream with me
Up a lazy river where the robi-in's song
Awakes the bright new morning
Where we can move along
Blue skies up above, everyone's in love
Up a lazy river, how happy you could be
Up a lazy river-er with me-ee-ee-ee
Up - a lazy ri-iver - with me...
