Iva Zanicchi - Caro Theodorakis [1970] (Full Album)

Iva Zanicchi (born in Ligonchio, Reggio Emilia on January 18, 1940) is an Italian pop singer and politician. Iva Zanicchi has a powerful, soulful, mezzo-soprano voice that evokes comparisons to early American rhythm-and-blues music pioneers and her style reflects her uncompromising approach to both her music and career. Iva Zanicchi’s career began in 1962 at the Castrocaro Music Festival, where she earned third place. She won the Sanremo song festival in 1967 with Non pensare a me, in 1969 with Zingara and again in 1974 with Ciao cara, come stai?. Zanicchi remains the only woman singer to have won that festival’s prize three times. In 1969, she represented Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest in Madrid with Due Grosse Lacrime Bianche, where she finished 13th. She represented Italy in the V Festival Internacional da Canção in Rio with Tu non sei più innamorato di me in 1970. A concert at the Paris Olympia and a tour (United States, Canada, South America and the Soviet Union) followed. Iv
