🎼24 November 1941. Happy 80th Birthday 🥳🍾 to Giuseppe "Pino" Donaggio, born in #Burano island, Venice and longtime vacationeer in #myhometown Auronzo di #Cadore, #Dolomites.
His name won't tell much to the majority, but #PinoDonaggio was a singer, musician and above all prominent composer since the 1960s. Most of his career is characterized by film scores, having written soundtracks for horror icons such has #DarioArgento, #BrianDePalma, #LucioFulci, #JoeDante: to name a few more #PupiAvati, #TintoBrass and the music for Italian legendary comedy #NonCiRestaChePiangere by #RobertoBenigni and #MassimoTroisi.

However Donaggio will be forever remembered for writing many Italian 1960s hits, his biggest one went international in 1965 and sold 80 million records worldwide!!! 😳👏
The song was called "Io che non vivo", and was performed in English as "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" by #DustySpringfield, #ElvisPresley, #PaulAnka among the others. In the Chat Room some of these versions👇
