Lucio Dalla; (4 March 1943 – 1 March 2012) was an Italian singer-songwriter, musician and actor. He also played clarinet and keyboards. He is considered one of the most prominent cantautori and collaborated with many others Italian songwriters as Luigi Tenco, Gino Paoli, Francesco De Gregori and international musician as Chet Baker, Bud Powell, Charles Mingus and many more.

Dalla was born in Bologna, Italy. He began to play the clarinet at an early age, in a jazz band in Bologna, and became a member of a local jazz band called Rheno Dixieland Band, together with future film director Pupi Avati. Avati said that he decided to leave the band after feeling overwhelmed by Dalla's talent.

Avati said that he decided to leave the band after feeling overwhelmed by Dalla's talent. He also acknowledged that his film, Ma quando arrivano le ragazze? (2005), was inspired by his friendship with Dalla.

In the 1960s the band participated in the first Jazz Festival at Antibes, France. The Rheno Dixieland Band won the first prize in the traditional jazz band category and was noticed by a Roman band called Second Roman New Orleans Jazz Band, with whom Dalla recorded his first record in 1961 and had the first contacts with RCA records, his future music publisher.

Singer-songwriter Gino Paoli hearing Dalla's vocal qualities, suggested that he attempt a soloist career as a soul singer. However, Dalla's debut at the Cantagiro music festival in 1965 was not successful probably due to both his physical appearance as well as his music, which was considered too experimental for the time. His first single, a rendition in Italian of the American traditional standard Careless Love was a failure, as it was his first album, 1999, that was released the following year. His next album, Terra di Gaibola (from the name of a suburb of Bologna), was released in 1970 and contained some early Dalla classics. His first hit was "4 Marzo 1943", which achieved some success due to the Sanremo Festival. The original title of the song was supposed to be "Gesù bambino", however in those years there was still stiff censorial control over the content of songs, and the title was changed to Dalla's birth date. ...more

Quotes by Lucio Dalla (?)

“E debbo stare attento a non cadere nel vino,
o finir dentro ai tuoi occhi, se mi vieni più vicino.”
― Lucio Dalla

“Vide le luci in mezzo al mare,
Pensò alle notti là in America
Sai erano solo le lampare
E la bianca scia di un'elica
Sentì il dolore nella musica
Si alzò dal pianoforte
Ma quando vide la luna uscire da una nuvola
Gli sembro più dolce anche la morte poi
Guardò negli occhi la ragazza
Due occhi verdi come il mare
Poi all'improvviso uscì una lacrima e lui credette di affogare”
― Lucio Dalla, Caruso Sheet Music
