Overview

The album consists of world-famous American hits by popular artists (with the exception of the songs "Michelle" by the British rock band the Beatles, and the song "Susanna" by the Dutch band the Art Company). All the songs on this album have been translated into Italian, as well as the arrangements have been changed. The translation of the lyrics is as close as possible to the original.

The album was a great success. It took the first place in the Italian chart, staying in the top ten for twelve weeks. [2] By the end of 1987, the album had sold over 500,000 copies. [3]
