He was born Adelmo Fornaciari on September 25, 1955 in the Italian province Reggio Emilia, Italy and has since become one of the most famous Italian singers.

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.

Nothing To Lose
Zucchero Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got nothing to lose but you
Baby
I've fallen out of control
I got not nothing to lose but you
Save me
Its gonna change tomorrow, saying
I got nothing to lose but you
See me

Just walking a dog in your street
I got nothing to lose but you
Take me
And wipe away this sorrow

I got nothing to lose but now
Nothing to lose but you
I got nothing to lose girl
Nothing to lose but you
I got nothing to lose now
I got nothing to lose but you
I got nothing to lose
I got nothing to lose now

I got nothing to lose but you
Baby
I'm praying can you hear me...
I got nothing to lose but you
Nothing
Nothing but you to remember ... sweet
Everyday I will try to reach you
What can I do
If you sill live in my mind
I got nothing to lose but you
Tell me
Then I will not surrender

I got nothing to lose
...
Could it be a bit of my lifetime
Shaking me I'm a believer
It never really came to blows
Just think its over in no time
Maybe that's how love grows

Who knows
Love grows
