While on the subject of copy cats...
Edited on Sun Apr-27-08 06:03 PM by Xipe Totec
Andrea Boccelli is getting credit for this song on the internets:

Quando Mi Innamoro

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zEYlSgayxE

Which incensed me, since I distinctly remember the song, which I thought was written by Armando Manzanero, sung by Angelica Maria in the 1969 Mexican movie "Like Cats and Dogs"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DzL8MoqG-I

But, I could not find a credit to Manzanero for this song.

But, Bocelli does give credit for this song, not to Manzanero, but to Mario Panzeri, who curiously enough, also does not take credit for the song (Check his discography):

http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Panzeri

This drove me nuts! :grr:

Then I found an earlier reference, to Anna Identici:

http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Identici


and this youtube post of Identici beautifully performing in 1968:

Which is earlier than any Manzanero reference.

But, apparently Identici just performed it. She credits Daniele Pace and Mario Panzeri, neither of whom have the song in their discography...


Wow, talk about success having too many parents...

:blush:
