Pino d'Angio, real name Giuseppe Chierchia, is an Italian singer who began his artistic career in 1979 after he was noticed by a producer in a cabaret.
The same year he released his first single “È libero, scusi ?" which will only be very successful.
He will have to wait two years and the year 1981 to finally see his titles become successful, and what success !
"Ma quale idea", from the album "Balla !» released in 1980, will literally ignite all Dancefloor on the planet and turn out to be one of the biggest hits of the early 80s. Nearly 2.5 million copies were sold around the world !
Shattering hit but unique hit because it will remain as the singer's only notorious hit.
To discover or rediscover.

Clips :
1979 ... very dance oriented beginnings. A trend that he will keep until the end ...
1979 ... beginnings all the same rather confidential and which are limited for the moment to Italy. But it's not going to last ...
1981 ... then comes THIS title. The title of a lifetime which makes him One Shot fit into the musical legend of the 80s. Here he signs one of the biggest Dance hits of the beginning of the decade. MAS-TER-FUL !
1981 ... a year 1981 which will remain as HIS great year. He connects hits after hits in an impressive way. Even if this one will still be a step below the previous one ...
1981 ... in a style that is really his own, he delivers here his 3rd hit of the year, making him one of the essential stars of the moment...
1982 ... always so Dance, always so light and airy. Songs which will not remain as Masterpieces but which are more than enough to set the Dancefloor on fire !
1983 ... admittedly, he no longer touches the summits of the Charts, but he continues on his way, quietly and surely ...
1983 ... and always that inimitable voice, so typical of Italian singers. A unique feature in the world and which will always remain the hallmark of this colorful country...
1985 ... here he goes in Hi-NRG mode to stick to the latest musical trends of the moment. A necessary adjustment...
1985...a Hi-NRG parenthesis quickly closed. Too bad he didn't push the experience further because it could have brought him back into the race...
1985... he will have done everything for us during this year 1985, all possible tempos and all styles. At least he tries, who could blame him...
1987...a decade he spent almost exclusively in Dance mode from start to finish. And in a style that will hardly evolve...
1988 ... a hybrid song. A first ! And yes, he mixes Dance and Intimist for the first time. Very surprising, as much by the risk-taking as by the result ...
1988...a decade of the 80s which will have him gradually disappearing from the radar without however seeing him disappear definitively. A desire to believe in it always and again which commands respect incontestably...
1988 ... he alternates more and more Dance titles and Intimist titles, which allows him to show another facet of his talent. We take anyway...
1988... back in Dance mode to see if it's still possible to get back into the race. Nice try but still no return to grace possible at this stage...
1989...a decade that still ends in Dance mode. A decade that will have seen him explode and then gradually disappear from the radar. Such is the life of an artist...
1989... he will have been good in all areas in any case. Even if he didn't produce any planetary-class Ultimate Slow, what he did produce was still more than up to par !
1989...now remains to be seen whether he will attempt the transition to the next decade. Knowing him, it may well be that yes, that's clear...
1990 ... total change of style and tone. A 180° musical reorientation that also works perfectly !
1991...here he arrived in Euro-Dance mode. More than 10 years after his debut, the artist is still present and he still manages to surprise us. What talent !
1991... not only does he try to adapt by all means but above all he doesn't give up. We can only salute this desire to believe in it until the end...
1991...a talent in the Intimist which is confirmed year after year, decade after decade. Too bad he was never able to win the Grail in this category...
1991...once again he proves that in this particular field he had everything he needed to do great things. But fate will not have rewarded him as high as he hoped...
1997... we will lose sight of him for almost 7 years but here he is again, always faithful to the post. We know, with him, nothing is ever finished...
1997...it's clear that as long as he takes pleasure in doing what he does, he won't give up. And in principle he is absolutely right !
1997... more than one in his place will have thrown in the towel a long time ago but he says to himself that everything is always possible as long as we believe in it a minimum...
2000...and it's so much better with 2 ! Here he is in duo mode, something extremely rare concerning him. There is a beginning to everything as they say...
2002 ... he is already 4 decades of career which is not nothing. Because a lot of artists of his generation have already disappeared for quite a long time while he is still there...
2002...an astonishing new opus where he will spend more time talking than singing. A bet for the less daring but that he will try anyway...
2002...good try but it won't bring him more than that unfortunately. He can always tell himself that he at least tried it...
2010...big air hole of 8 years but here he is again ! Impossible to stop him at this stage, regardless of whether the titles released are successful or not...
2019... it's downright 9 years that will separate this title from the previous one, which is starting to do a lot anyway. Times are getting harder and harder for the singer, it is clear...
2020...not really in the same vein, to say the least. Not sure that the style and sound appeal to younger generations...
2020...it would already be a little better with this title. The adventure continues, of course, but it is clear that the singer now does more some figuration than anything else...
2020... after that he is not discouraged and says to himself that the adventure is worth pursuing. So we imagine that we might see him again later...
1979 ... little special bonus. The song that inspired 'Ma quale idea'. Yes, yes, this is it !
1999 ... then the remixed version of 1999 which will also set fire to all Dancefloor. Mighty course for this title declined in 3 different modes over 3 different decades !
