Gigliola Cinquetti

Non ho l'eta, her master hit of 1964, saturated the radio waves of Saigon in the late 60's. Nevertheless, it slowly faded from my consciousness by the time I arrived in America in December 69 to start college. Nearly 40 years later a high school friend reminds me of the tune.

Apparently, she's still revered in Italy. You can find plenty of her stuff in youtube, for example:

The clip is grainy but still illustrates the musical genius of a 16 year old.

My personal tribute to Gigliola!

My two children is going to laugh, but there is something magic about music of the 60's. Oh well, among female stars, if Italy had Gigliola, France Francoise Hardy, US Joan Baez, and in Vietnam Khanh Ly. My personal biais, of course.
