Fred Bongusto - Biography

Alfredo Bongusto (born 6 April 1935 in Campobasso), known by his stage name Fred Bongusto, is an Italian light music singer and songwriter who was very popular in the 1960s and 1970s.
He composed the soundtracks of more than 30 films, such as Day After Tomorrow (1968), Un Detective (1969), The Divorce (1970), Come Have Coffee with Us (1970), The Eroticist (1972), Gli ordini sono ordini (1972), Malizia (1973), Lovers and Other Relatives (1974), Le farò da padre (1974), Conviene far bene l'amore (1975), Al piacere di rivederla (1976), Oh, Serafina! (1976), Fantozzi contro tutti (1980), Fracchia la belva umana (1981) and Superfantozzi (1986). He also starred in Obiettivo ragazze (1961) and Peccato Veniale (1974).

As Peppino di Capri told the publication, "It leaves us a wealth of success that we will continue to sing and that will help us remember it forever. He was a person always looking for ironies, among us there was that subtle competition that bound us, a nice and generous competition. He was very playful, he was a few years older than me and he was a little teacher but the real voice of the night was his. He had this particular voice, very original and a unique confidential tone."
He was married to Gabriella Palazzoli, an Italian soubrette, who was famous in the 1950s and 1960s. She is known for starring in the film Buonanotte... Avvocato! with Alberto Sordi. In 1960, before their marriage, Palazzoli had a previous marriage with American actor John Drew Barrymore, who is the father of her daughter Blyth Dolores. Blyth was raised by Bongusto.
