Altro post targato Anni '70 . From Sicily, I GENS, training with light music that had a short and intense period of glory and today is misunderstood and forgotten.
The group formed in Messina in 1967, The initial components were William (real name Philip Ricciardi founder of the training, vocals) called the 'Baronet', Pippo Landro on keyboards, Pino Salpietro on drums, bass and Cardullo Hector Gilberto Bruno on guitar. Unfortunately
Gilberto Bruno died 'in 1969, just over twenty years, in a car accident, just after a concert, Orzinuovi in \u200b\u200bthe province of Brescia. It
follow 'a period of reflection and mourning, in which they wondered whether he should go ahead without his lost friend.
Then came 'Mauro Culotta, Genovese from Sicily, Messina is not the only component of the complex, which harbor', in addition to his guitar, new energy and enthusiasm. In 1968
are involved (as The Giants) and won the third 'Tournament EuroDavoli', held in August at the tennis club in Tirrenia, with the cover of "Is it yes, is it not," James Brown, translated by "in It will burn ", a victory that gives them a contract with the label Det.
changed the name (in Latin), I GENS bring out "Down the Lane", published on 45 laps, then a song that gets better sales success and listening, perhaps their greatest success. The song on the back of
singolo , "Laura dei giorni andati" , è scritta per loro da un ancora giovane Roberto Vecchioni .
Nel '69 , dopo diversi mesi dal triste evento accaduto al loro chitarrista e l'inserimento del nuovo musicista , il successo viene comunque replicato da "Insieme a lei" , pubblicata ancora su 45 giri (il brano sul retro è "Vestita di bianco") .
Dopo una discreta attività concertistica per tutta l'Italia , vengono notati e partecipano al Festival di Sanremo 1970 con "La stagione di un fiore" (migliore , secondo me , il brano del lato B dal titolo "Fotomodella") , la bella "Ancora e sempre " sempre nel '70 , tornano poi al Festival l'anno successivo , nel '71 , con "Lo schiaffo" , incisa per the new record label, Man, with a new singer, Alberto Tadini, replacing Ricciardi for two 45 rpm (it will become very popular in 1978 singing the song "Grendizer", in collaboration with the great Vince Tempera Actarus through the project, present in soundtrack of "Atlas Ufo Robot", with the stage name of Michel Tadini).
During this time the group leaves the Beat sounds (they also collaborated with the singer, their countryman, Salvatore Ruis, the beautiful single "Louise, where are you?" Of the 70s), to switch to a pop melody calls from Progressive.
passed to Philips, Cantagiro win of 1972 with "Who", a cover of "Without You" by Badfinger, led But the success of the more famous Harry Nilsson, the next single, "Even a flower knows it" reaches the top of the Hit Parade, confirming the moment of harmony with the general public. They got third place in the Zurich Festival and success in several European events.
Gets a success even the song "Dear my friend," single of '73. In 1974
out the singles "How cool is" included in their first album, an album that contains other unpublished works, including the beautiful "House of Ethel" and "Melt your wings", also published by the disc Philips.
followed by another good single, "Man is born", which will be their last production 70.
Despite some success, is the dissolution of the group. Philip Ricciardi
with drummer Pino Allegro training staff, training who produced several singles and sometimes participated in the Sanremo Festival, when the guitarist collaborating with Mauro Culotta Ivano Fossati to the album "The great sea that would have crossed" the 1973 , writing the music of the song "The reality and the rest."
Then the 'content' Ricciardi, bassist Hector Cardullo with keyboardist Pippo Landro formed the group New People, which affects some 45 revolutions.
Pippo Landro then start a career as a record producer.
Ricciardi will continue the work of singer tenore , apprezzatissimo ancora oggi anche a livello internazionale .
Nel 1990 , in occasione della trasmissione di Red Ronnie 'Una rotonda sul mare', si riformano i Gens .
Con l'ingresso nella formazione del Genovese Enrico Bianchi alla voce ed alle tastiere, i Gens incidono per Radio Italia , il longplaying "Uomini non dei" , raccolta di loro brani rivisitati con tre inediti , partecipando poi a diverse trasmissioni televisive ed entrando nella classifica di Sorrisi e Canzoni Tv nell'estate 1992 .
A distanza di molti anni , nel 2006 il gruppo pubblica "Il meglio" , un'altra compilation di loro brani (per l'etichetta Duck) e partecipa ad una raccolta tributo per Lucio Battisti , con la bella cover del brano chiamato "L'aquila" . Personally, I think I
GENS as one of the most innovative and talented Italian band Light Music '70s, I imagine the enormous difficulties that the group may have encountered, the obstacles posed by the recording industry against a musical project that came from Sicily , programs Sanremo, the organization of concerts and related costs, should not be an easy one for these young musicians then Messina.
them justice, therefore, as with other artists 'lost', and pointed out in this blog.
Listen to them without bias (I am referring to younger visitors), conscious of a long-gone glory, but that was certainly full of good music, feelings, and for Always put Battisti, new sensations.
The Season of Flowers.
