Amedeo Minghi (born 12 August 1947) is an Italian singer-songwriter, composer and producer.
Life and career
Born in Rome, Minghi started his career in the mid-1960s participating in a large number of musical contests, and then making his professional debut in 1966 with the single "Alla fine", with lyrics by Mogol.[1]
The disappointing commercial results of the song and the military service took him away from the musical industry for several years.[1] Following a new single in 1971, in 1973 he released his first eponymous album, with the uncredited collaboration of Francesco De Gregori.[1] In the same years Minghi started collaborating as a composer with several artists, such as Vianella and Ricchi e Poveri.[1] In the mid-1970s he was briefly a member of the musical ensamble Pandemonium, with whom he recorded his song "L'immenso", which got several international covers and was his first real success.[1] Left the group, he released a new album in 1980 (Minghi) and started working as a producer.[1] In 1983 he debuted at the Sanremo Music Festival with the song "1950", with lyrics by Gaio Chiocchio, which was eliminated from the competition but resulted in a critical success and in a classic of his musical repertoire.[1][2] His subsequent albums got him an increasing following, until the exploit in 1990 thanks to "Vattene amore", a duet with Mietta, a singer he produced; the song ranked third at the Sanremo Music Festival and topped the Italian hit parade for several weeks.[1][2]
