It is impossible to think of the 80s without thinking of Nino D’Angelo. Famous not only for his romantic songs, but also for the bob that made history, the singer marked an era, also starring in many films now considered cult by lovers of Italian cinemaBorn in 1957 in Naples, the first of six children, Nino began working as a wedding singer at a very young age, also working as an ice cream maker.
Success came in 1976, when A storia mia (or scippo), first single, sells 50,000 copies locally. This allows him to take part in his first scenes, such as Monaca and Mamma. The consecration, however, comes in the eighties, thanks to films such as Celebrità and L’ave Maria, reaching its peak with the album Nu’jeans e na’maglietta.
Now an established artist, D’Angelo also takes part in many well-known programs hosted by Pippo Baudo and Raffaella Carrà. In 1986 he took part in the Sanremo Festival with the song Vai, one of the best-selling songs that year, despite the critics’ brutal judgments. In 1989, following the death of his parents, Nino made a radical change, after falling into depression and attempting suicide. Having removed the bob that had made him famous, he also opted for songs based on different themes, such as Bravo ragazzo and Tiempo.
He recently took part in the Sanremo Festival 2010 and 2019also taking part in numerous broadcasts and public events, appearing as a guest, for example, in one of Gigi D’Alessio’s five evenings in Piazza del Plebiscito.
Nino D’Angelo and the surprising confession about his beloved colleague
Pstar of a sold-out concert at the Maradona in NaplesD’Angelo was a river in full flood during the presentation press conference: “It’s a lineup based on the 80s and the reason is simple: I owe everything to Nino D’Angelo with the helmet and on this beautiful day for me I have to pay homage to someone who was fundamental, namely the Nino of those years so snubbed by many”.
Not only that, but Nino also added that “He made something move in Neapolitan music. Even Pino Daniele called me when I had a bob. Pino is the greatest Neapolitan artist, being called by him was an honor. I met Pino in this hotel and he said to me: “Congratulations, so many people came for you. You know, I have a silly sister, I have to introduce her to you, you look alike. I went to Pino’s house and met his sister, a big fan of mine, a big fan. She was crying for me and Pino said: “’And seen how silly she is?”. And an anecdote that many did not know, and which makes Nino and Pino more loved than ever today.
