Work : Prize 1964 (Won the Eurovision Song Contest)
Italian singer and TV presenter. At the age of 16 she won the Sanremo Music Festival 1964 singing "Non ho letà" ("Im Not Old Enough"), with music composed by Nicola Salerno and lyrics by Mario Panzeri. Her win enabled her to represent Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest 1964 in Copenhagen with the same song, where she claimed her countrys first ever victory in the event. The song became an international success, even entering the UK Singles Chart, traditionally unusual for Italian material. It sold over three million copies, and was awarded a platinum disc in August 1964. In 1966, she recorded "Dio, come ti amo" ("God, How I Love You"), which became another worldwide hit. In 1974, Cinquetti took part in the Eurovision Song Contest again, this time held in Brighton, Sussex, England. Her song was called "Sì" and came second to Swedish foursome ABBA with their song "Waterloo". Gigliola Cinquetti scored an even bigger UK hit single than she had ten years earlier, with "Sì" peaking at No. 8. Link to Wikipedia biography Read less
