Mal: the Primitives, 80 years and many successes
He found America in Italy, Paul Bradley Couling: they were Gianni Boncompagni And Alberico Crocetta (the inventor of the “Piper” of Rome) to make him come to us, and here the English singer became very popular, not only or not so much thanks to his singing skills but especially thanks to his physical attractiveness, underlined by a slightly old-fashioned elegance , which made the female audience dream. Mal – which turns 80 today – has been in our sales charts for a long time: we celebrate it by featuring its greatest hits.
