LITTLE TONY 50 years of Rock 'n Roll (10 videos)


TechTag
LITTLE TONY partecipes to Sanremo, that year. It's the 10th time...He is the "Italian version" of Elvis Presley, of course, the hair, the dresses, the music, many songs (only translated)... But he always saids that he was a "fan" of Elvys... When in Italy, at the end of '50's, comes the Rock'n roll is not the same thing that in Usa. in Usa there are jazz, blues, and all black culture ( or sub-culture, as saids in that time). In Italy all songs tolds about love and good extings, as the 'mom'; the sea and the sun; ( a part a very little èlite) and when in the first years of '60's a " new stylife" cames together the new sound a 'cultural revolution' starts in Italy and it extends for many years. To talk now, of these things it's hard to understand what

means rock'n roll music in these years and in the earth of Italian boys, but something starts to change and only 10 years after, nothing will be the same. Little Tony isn't a 'political' singer. He plays only rock'n roll, and for 10-15 years the Italian music, mixed with old words of tradition becomes one of best music of the moment and these songs still plays in the fests, or re-made in the discoteques, after 40 or 50 years!! I choose the oldest versions of Little Tony; I hope You enjoin its!
