Raffaella Carra - A Far L’Amore Comincia Tu (Liebelei) • TopPop
Italian singer Raffaella Carrà has died at the age of 78. Italian television maker Sergio Japino announced this on yesterday, July 5, 2021. The news of her death was also picked up by various Spanish and Italian media throughout the day. Carrà became known, especially in the Netherlands, for her song ’A Far L’amore Comincia Tu’.
This song was a huge hit in Holland, especially because of her performance in TopPop!
Nobody in the Netherlandse understood what the song was about because nobody speaks Italian. Perhaps that’s why the enigmatic chorus stuck, and Raffaella Carrà’s ’A far l’amore comincia tu’ became a huge hit.
When the Italian singer appeared in the studio of Avro’s Toppop, the whole country sang along: ’Scoppia scoppia mi sco...’, and then that double explosion of the bass drum. And although Carrà would turn out to be a one-hit wonder in the Netherlands with her song: the song became a cult hit here too, which would continue to pop up everywhere, from carnival to hipster parties.
Carrà ((1943-2021), who passed away on Monday July 5, 2021, naturally sang about love in her 1976 hit, and especially about the physical pleasures that come with it. And Carrà certainly didn’t speak in secret. “When you start making love to me, my heart explodes, explodes, explodes,“ she sang. And in the unforgettable choreography accompanying the song, she swung her head perilously from front to back, dressed in a glittery dress with a historically low cleavage. When Carrà appeared on television, something happened!
The song became a massive hit in many countries selling more than 20 million copies.
In the Netherlands it reached #3 in the Top 40 and in Belgium #1 in the BRT Top 30.
In The UK it became a hit much later. In april 1978 it charted in the UK Singles Chart with a peak position of 9 and under the title: ’Do it do it again.’
This is the the original version. Also check out the chroma-key version on the TopPop channel!
