Info about song
"Nel blu dipinto di blu" ("In the blue painted blue"), popularly known as "Volare" (Italian for the infinitive form of the verb "to fly"), is Domenico Modugno's signature song. It is the only song ever by an Italian artist to reach number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 charts. Domenico Modugno's recording of this song was the first Grammy winner for Record of the Year 1958. It is also the only foreign-language recording (sung entirely in Italian) to take this top honor. Written by Domenico Modugno (music and lyrics) and Franco Migliacci (lyrics), "Nel blu dipinto di blu" was presented by Domenico Modugno and Johnny Dorelli at the 1958 Sanremo Music Festival, winning the contest and achieving instant popularity. It was then chosen to represent Italy in the 1958 Eurovision Song Contest and came third. The song is a ballad in a dramatic chanson style, in which Modugno describes the feeling he has (which he likens to flying) when with his lover. > en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volare_(song) Read more on Last.fm.
