Renato Carosone
Renato Carosone (Italian pronunciation: [reˈnaːto karoˈzoːne]; born Renato Carusone; 3 January 1920 – 20 May 2001) was an Italian musician.
Carosone was a piano prodigy and prominent figure in the Italian music scene in the second half of the 20th century. He was also a modern performer of the so-called canzone napoletana, a traditional music genre from Naples. His biggest successes were: "'O sarracino/Caravan petrol", "Tu vuò fà l'americano", "Maruzzella" and "Pigliate 'na pastiglia".
Carosone was one of the first post-war Italian artists (the other one being Domenico Modugno) who sold records and toured in the United States without singing in English.
