History
Born in Florence, Giancarlo Bigazzi was a music producer and composer. During the 1970s and 1980s he was one of the best-known songwriters and lyricists in Italy. Several of his songs became international hits, among them, “Gloria,” “Self Control,” “No Me Ames,” “Tu,” “Take the Heat Off Me,” and “Mama.” He also composed film soundtracks for “Mery per Sempre,” “Ragazzi Fuori,” and Gabriele Salvatore’s “Mediterraneo,” an Oscar winner. He was a member of the musical comedy group “Gli Squallor” from 1973 to 1994. The group, formed by four popular musicians for fun, was shunned by radio stations for its vulgarity but was a success, producing 14 albums. One of their films, Arapaho, was an unexpected box office hit.
