Angelique - Dario Campeotto

I actually already own a copy of Dario Campeotto's 'Angelique', but that's a rather ordinary single, with just two tracks. This EP features four different tracks and, here's the best part, it's pressed on blue vinyl. It's one of those things I just can't resist.

On this EP, Dario shows off his family heritage. Although he was born in Copenhagen, his parents were Italian and three songs on this disc are actually sung in Italian. The title track, 'Angelique', still appears in the original Danish version. It would have been interesting to hear an Italian version of the song!

My collection: 7" single no. 6579
Found: Discogs.com, received 17 December 2021
Cost: €3
Tracks: 'Angelique', 'Libero' / 'Nella bella cita', 'Un Italiano innamorato'

Angelique - Dario Campeotto

Dario Campeotto was born on February 1, 1939 in Frederiksberg, Copenhagen to Italian parents, Emma and Ernesto Campeotto. He started performing at the age of ten, but his breakthrough was a victory in the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix in 1961 with the song 'Angelique', which went on to finish fifth in the Eurovision Song Contest. The song is a love ballad directed towards one Angelique, with Campeotto singing about the various things he would do for her if he had the skill - such as writing poetry if he were William Shakespeare or playing the violin if he were Yehudi Menuhin.

Following Angelique, Dario Campeotto released a number of records, starred in theatrical play, operettes, revues, and movies. He has been married twice and once lived in Italy with his former wife, actress Ghita Nørby, but returned to Denmark where he is currently continuing his career.
