Hello to all of you whom I don't post to as often as I should . . . . Lucy Alder posed the following head scratcher . . . I'm desperately trying to think of Italians who've made an impact on the charts, outside their own country, but I can only think of Sabrina ("Boys, boys, boys, I'm looking for a good time...") Any pop trivialists out there care to help me? We have to go back a few years, and I'm not so sure about their influence outside the You Ess of Eeeh, but Dean Martin had more than a few chart toppers. "That's Amoré" (When the Moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amoré) and "Kick in the Head" (She's tellin' me we'll be wed, she's pickin' a king size bed, tell me quick, ain't that a kick in the head"). And Frank Sinatra, whose list of hits need not be recounted here. And what about Frank Stallone with "Eye of the Tiger"? Italian-Americans all, it's true. But proud of their Italian roots none the less. Do they count?
