Aldo Donati (2 September 1947 – 24 August 2014) was an Italian singer, composer and television personality.
Born in Rome, he started his career at very young age as a member of the blues-rock group "Gli Arciduchi".
As a solo singer, his main hits are the songs "Canterò canterò canterò", which ranked fourth at the 1980 Sanremo Music Festival, and "Cantando", which entered the competition at the 1982 Festivalbar.[3][4]
Donati was also very active as a composer, signing among others several songs for Mina. Among his compositions, the most successful was "Canzoni stonate", a 1981 hit by Gianni Morandi which was later covered by several artists, including Andrea Bocelli and Stevie Wonder in a Spanish adaptation ("Cançion desafinada") for the album Amore.[1][3][5]
