He is probably best known internationally for the song Senza Una Donna, which is a duet with Paul Young and hit number 4 in the latter's native United Kingdom, where Zucchero has generally made little commercial impact, in 1991. He commenced his musical career in 1970 with his first single in 1976, and his first album in 1983. His music, in Italian, Spanish and in English, is largely inspired by gospel, blues and rock music, and alternates between syrupy ballads and more rhythmic boogie-like pieces. He sang several duets, in public or on disc, with Joe Cocker, Miles Davis, Paul Young, Andrea Bocelli, Sting, Luciano Pavarotti, Tom Jones, and Johnny Hallyday.
European hit singles include Il Volo (English version: My love), Cosi Celeste, Baila (sexy thing), Diamante (featuring soul singer Randy Crawford), and Wonderful World (with Eric Clapton). Zucchero's 2004 album ZU & Co features duets with Miles Davis, Paul Young, Sheryl Crow, The Cranberries's Dolores O'Riordan, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, Maná, Brian May, and Sting. It has sold millions of copies throughout Europe and the world and entered the Billboard 200 charts after its release in the U.S. in the summer of 2005.
In July 2005, Zucchero took part in the Live 8 concerts in both Rome and Paris. In July 2006 Zucchero's new single 'Bacco Perbacco' was released. A new studio album, produced by Don Was will be released in September.

Zucchero Lyrics

La frase che
Incendia un bosco in testa a me
La frase che
Ho in testa è
"E allora la baciai"
E immaginai
D'amore immenso intorno a lei
E me ne andai
E navigai
E non lo so se più tornai
In testa ho
La frase che
Fa la tempesta in testa a me
E se la neve
Non fa rumore
"Allora lei mi amò"
Di vento e dune
Di notti intere
E bianche in mare insieme a lei
E me ne andai
Nel così blu
E non lo so se più tornai
In testa ho
La frase che
Lei disse, resta in testa a me
E mi estasiai
E dissi anch'io
"Per sempre amore mio"
Abbiamo insieme
Ingoiato il sole
Dipinto d'infinito il mare
E me ne andai
E navigai
E non lo so se più tornai
The song "Nel Cosi' Blu" by Zucchero is a beautiful love song that talks about the singer's memories of a past love. The opening lines "In testa ho la frase che incendia un bosco in testa a me" means "In my head, I have a phrase that sets a forest on fire in my head." This line implies the power of the phrase that the singer has in his head, and how it reminds him of his past love. The phrase "E allora la baciai" means "And then I kissed her," and the singer remembers how he kissed her with passion and love.
The second verse talks about the singer's imagination where he pictures the sky as cobalt blue and the love around her to be immense. He then sailed away and left her. The third verse talks about the singer's memories of their time together, and how they were engulfed by the wind, dunes, and white nights at sea. The last verse talks about the phrase that the woman told him, "Per sempre amore mio," meaning "Forever my love," and how he was ecstatic to hear it. They spent time together, disappearing into the horizon, swallowing the sun, and painting the sea with infinity.

Fantastica,grande Zucchero!❤
Daniela Ciofini
E come salire verso una grande montagna,dove il sole e alto,dove puoi abbracciare l Universo,dove puoi respirare l aria più pura che esista,dove sentire scorrere il sangue nelle tue vene,dove il precipizio e vicino e dove guardare il blu del cielo e il cupo scuro della voragine dove forse vorresti precipitare e impazzire in questa immensa musica
