Zucchero

Guitarist and singer-songwriter Adelmo Fornaciari, better known by the moniker Zucchero, built a following in his native Italy with his unique brand of adult contemporary pop–a following that expanded internationally as his career progressed. Zucchero's sound blends radio-ready melodies with equal doses of rock, blues, and a light, often mellow feel on his ballads and love songs. ALL THE BEST is a re-release of the artist's 1996 hits collection. Geared specifically to American audiences, this release of ALL THE BEST includes some of Zucchero's best-loved tunes (such as "Senza Una Donna" and "Wonderful Life"), and wonderful guest performances from the likes of Paul Young, Miles Davis, and Luciano Pavarotti.

Among the greatest interpreters of the Italian blues, Zucchero is one of the leading Italian artists worldwide. His music has spread across national borders thanks to numerous collaborations with international artists; Bryan Adams, Bono, Jeff Beck, Ray Charles, Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, Miles Davis, Peter Gabriel, John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, Mark Knopfler, Iggy Pop and Sting. This is the 30th Anniversary edition of Oro Incenso & Birra. The original version was released in 1989, and represents a true milestone of Italian music history. Produced by Corrado Rustici, the album was recorded at Peter Gabriel's English Real World Studios, Memphis Ardent, New York Power Station and Umbi Studios in Italy.

Although not particularly well known in the United States, Adelmo "Zucchero" Fornaciari has been a fixture on the Italian rock scene since his 1985 debut.

The next year, with the help of producer Don Was, Zucchero issued Fly, a record that, though it is sung in Italian, has enough comfortable adult pop elements that it should probably appeal to foreign listeners as well as to his compatriot base…
