DOLCE
VITA (music by Pierluigi Giombini - Vocals by Ryan Paris)
This song was inspired by Federico Fellini's famous movie of the same name.
I have always been a great admirer of his, and we both share an admiration
for voluptuous full-figured women...
By coincidence just when I needed to find the right singer for the song,
a tall, blond gentleman by the name Fabio Roscioli who was showering me with phone calls, trying to get me to listen
to his voice, as he had been impressed by "Masterpiece", my
first success with Gazebo. Eventually I did get to hear his voice, and
it struck me that he would have been the perfect singer for "dolce
vita"...
So it was that "Ryan Paris" was born and "dolce vita"
became an international success selling millions of copies all over the
world. It reached the number three spot on the sales charts in England
-- something that had never happened with a pop-dance record recorded
in Italy, sung by Roman in English!
The most incredible thing is that I recorded and arranged the record all
in one day at "titania" studios. It was a magical song. I recall
that no record company wanted the song, they all told me that the record
had no potential and that I could do better. After 4,000,000 copies sold
those record company execs are still crying...
