To Loshata mi cantor...Lascistemi of cantare... The idol of our youth the composer and the performer Toto Cutugno died.

There are no words, here some emotions. Last night I was so stunned by this news as if desire to come into the Internet was not even a butt on the head that I cancelled all affairs and.
Again loss, at the age of 80 years from a long illness which became aggravated in recent months in Milan hospital San Rafael the composer, the singer and the multi-instrumentalist Toto Cutugno died
Our idol of Toto Cutugno already since the childhood showed interest in music. Little Salvatore (a full name of Toto-Salvatore Cutugno) the father serving on the fleet himself also blowing in military orchestra the trumpet acquainted him with music.
Young Toto began with a drum, then played percussions and an accordion, however did not reach a piano, because of high cost of the instument.
From 13 years the boy began to take part in various musical competitions, and soon organized own Toto ei Tati group in which he acted as the drummer and so succeeded in it that received the contract with large record company Carosello Records.
A bit later as the soloist he debuted at the popular San Remo festival already with the new Albatros group. In total Toto Cutugno participated in this festival of 15 times.
Also Toto writes many songs for such celebrities as Johnny Hallyday and our favourite Adriano Celentano who refused to execute a cult hit "L'ITALIANO" in due time that in translation into Russian is meant by "the Real Italian" which Toto wrote especially for Adriano.
Celentano estimated the song, but did not want to sing, having referred to what to him did not stick to sing that he is itayanets as people and so know it.
As a result of Toto himself sang this patriotic song in San Remo where it immediately became hit number one which dispersed million copies and it was executed by many musicians.
Adriano Celentano and not less populyarnyyy Joe Dassin in our country became famous thanks to penetrating songs the written Toto Cutugno.
Also its songs were sung by Claude François, the Ricchi e Poveri trio, romantic Mireille Matiio
and of course magnificent singer Dalida.
In the Soviet Union Cutugno enjoyed improbable popularity, in each house there were its scarce plates and records on reels.
Gradually love to Italians, and we so collectively called all performers from solar Italy, flowed to Post-Soviet Russia where talented Toto Cutugnju repeatedly came to tours.
The singer very much loved our country and repeatedly said that in Russia the most beautiful women.
Even made a declaration of love to our Sveta Svetikova with whom sung a duet at a concert in the Kremlin Palace of Congresses.
The actor did not differ in fidelity and even on the party from a petty intrigue with the stewardess he gave birth to the son Nicko, but only once was married to favourite Carla.
"Toto Cutugno was the brightest representative of that generation which was able to write very simply, but at the same time is expressive" so our singer Igor Kornelyuk said about creativity of the famous Italian.
You will also not tell better...
And, in our hearts forever will remain heart-felt and touching:
"Lasciatemi csntare, con la chiatarra in mano
Lasciatemi cantare...Solo un italiano!"
