Story & Background
This first RIFI pressing from 1966 of "Fausto Leali e i suoi Novelty" captures the essence of an epoch-making debut. The album was the definitive vehicle to establish the phenomenon of his "black" voice, a soul timbre so peculiar in the Italian music scene of the time that it generated immediate fascination. The most striking anecdote revolves around "A chi", his masterful interpretation of Timi Yuro's "Hurt", a track already an overwhelming success as a single, but which here finds its rightful home, showcasing Leali's stylistic coherence. This inclusion was not just a commercial move, but testament to how the artist was authentically bringing American rhythm and blues to Italy, defining his sound and musical identity. A historic vinyl that documents the birth of a vocal legend.
