THE LOST SINGLES

SHOULD-A BEEN HITS

TI AMO

Umberto Tozzi

1977

Laura Branigan had already scored a worldwide hit with "Gloria", a cover of a song by Umberto Tozzi. In 1984, the American singer recorded a remake of another single from the Italian singer / songwriter. The original version of "Ti Amo" was issued in 1977. The single was a #1 in Tozzi's homeland and various European countries. It made the charts in Australia the following year. Despite its quality and potential universal appeal, the track failed to chart in the U.S.A. and Britain.

This regular segment looks back on recordings that deserved to become popular singles but failed to attract attention and sales. Check out the special Caffé Latté playlist on spotify to finally discover these releases.
