Raffaella Carr\u00e0\u2019s recording career began in 1970, with the release of <\/em>Ma che musica maestro<\/em>, the theme for Canzonissima 1970<\/em>, a television broadcast combined with the New Year\u2019s Lottery which Carr\u00e0 hosted with Corrado Mantoni. In fact, her first recording dates back to 1966. She was participating in the musical comedy Ciao Rudy<\/em>, and recorded two of the show\u2019s songs, which later appeared on the related record: Gente Matta<\/em>, a duet with Marcello Mastroianni, and <\/em>Piaceva alle donne<\/em>, a choral piece with the entire cast of that show. Carr\u00e0 was under contract to the label RCA and, following the success of the 45 single <\/em>Ma che musica maestro,<\/em> RCA decided to let her record her first album in 1971. Due to the artist\u2019s limited repertoire, she recorded numerous covers to complete the track-list of the album, some of which were also used during the dance numbers in which she starred during the various episodes of Canzonissima 1970<\/em>. Simply titled Raffaella<\/em><\/strong>,<\/em> the album contained I Say A Little Prayer<\/em> (written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach and debuted by Dionne Warwick first and then Aretha Franklin), If I Give My Heart To You<\/em> (a hit by Doris Day), <\/em>Chiss\u00e0 se ci sei<\/em> (from Sookie Sookie<\/em> by Don Covay), Pensami<\/em> (from Who Are We<\/em> by James Last), Domenica non \u00e8 <\/em>(from Hum A Song<\/em> by Lulu), Count on me<\/em> (from Foot Prints On The Moon<\/em> by Johnny Harris) and Top<\/em> (from T.O.P.<\/em> by Oscar Harris & Twinklestars).<\/p>\n

 Carr\u00e0\u2019s personal success in Canzonissima 1970<\/em> ensured her participation in the next edition (again hosting with Corrado Mantoni), whose theme Chiss\u00e0 se va<\/em> quickly climbed the ranks of best-selling singles and paved the way (again in 1971) for her second long-playing album, titled Raffaella Carr\u00e0<\/em><\/strong>. It included two other songs by David-Bacharach, namely Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head<\/em> first performed by Billy Joe Thomas e Close To You<\/em> debuted by Dionne Warwick. El borriquito<\/em> (a hit by Peret) was the first sign of the artist\u2019s interest in the Latin-American repertoire. This later materialised in Raffaella Carr\u00e0\u2019s sensational popularity in Spain and Latin America throughout the 1980s. But there was also space for <\/em>E penso a te<\/em>, a hit of Bruno Lauzi written by Mogol and Lucio Battisti. On the third album, <\/em><\/strong>Raffaella senza respiro<\/em><\/strong> from 1972, there are only two covers, <\/em>the Supremes\u2019 Where Did Our Love Go<\/em> and She\u2019s Looking Good<\/em> by Rodger Collins. It was a sign that the artist\u2019s growing popularity was convincing record companies to focus on original repertoire rather than resorting to covers. Although the next album, <\/em><\/strong>Scatola a sorpresa<\/em><\/strong> of 1973 (which marked the transition to CGD) is basically a long list of covers: Satisfaction<\/em> by the Rolling Stones, <\/em>Quando, quando, quando<\/em> by Tony Renis, a medley with Miss Molly<\/em> by Bob Wills, Long Tall Sally and Tutti Frutti<\/em> by Little Richard and Whole Lotta Shakin\u2019 Goin\u2019 On<\/em> by Big Maybelle. And then again came tributes to Italian song classics such as <\/em>Romagna mia<\/em> and <\/em>La marcia dei bersaglieri. <\/em>There was a look at the Hispanic repertoire with Espana Cani<\/em> by Pascual Narro and the Brazilian repertoire with La samba di Orfeo.<\/em> It then jumped from Let\u2019s Twist Again<\/em> by Chubby Checker to Rosamunda<\/em> by Jaromir Vojvoda, from Tea For Two<\/em> originally performed by Helen Clark and Lewis James in 1924 to The cumparsita<\/em> by Gerardo Matos Rodriguez, arriving at Lola<\/em>, the Italian version of Yes Sir, That\u2019s My Baby<\/em> by Gene Austin. In 1974, the great success of the television programme Milleluci<\/em> (which Carr\u00e0 hosted with Mina) was also made into an album of the same title, which is practically a tribute to the Italian song: <\/em>Crapa pelada, Tarantelluccia, La rumba degli scugnizzi, Camminando sotto la pioggia, Tirami la gamba, La famiglia canterina, as well as<\/em> Copacabana<\/em> by Renato Barros <\/em>and another version of She\u2019s Looking Good<\/em> by Rodger Collins.<\/p>\n

From this point on, Carr\u00e0\u2019s albums increasingly consisted of original songs and fewer covers, both Italian and international, with the addition of her highly personal repertoire, to the point that her records were released directly in Spanish, with songs written specifically for her by Spanish songwriters, for a Spanish label (Hispavox) which were then distributed in Italy. However, some covers reappeared from time to time, such as the classic Italian <\/em>Tornerai<\/em> on the album <\/em><\/strong>Forte forte forte<\/em><\/strong> <\/em><\/strong>from 1976, <\/em>Innamorata<\/em> by Roberto Carlos for Fatalit\u00e0<\/em><\/strong> of 1983, while on Raffaella<\/em><\/strong> of 1988 there is a new version of Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye<\/em> by Steam. During the \u201890s and the first decade of 2000 her recording career slowed down significantly, until 2018 when Raffaella Carr\u00e0 (quite surprisingly) released the classic Christmas Album, a milestone for all great international artists, titled <\/em><\/strong>Ogni volta che \u00e8 Natale<\/em><\/strong> which included among the many Christmas (or almost Christmas) covers, the classic White Christmas<\/em> by Bing Crosby, Happy Xmas (War Is Over)<\/em> by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Hallelujah<\/em> by Leonard Cohen, Feliz Navidad<\/em> by Jos\u00e8 Feliciano e Jingle Bell Rock<\/em>, debuted in 1957 by Bobby Helms.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
