Biography
Italian ballad and rock singer who enjoyed success through the 1960s. Pavone is also an actress.
In the summer of 1964 she had chart success in North America with a record sung in English titled "Remember Me", backed with "Just Once More". In 1965, Pavone participated as a musical guest on The Ed Sullivan Show, becoming a frequent guest there until 1970. Meanwhile, she scored a string of hits, both with ballads and rock songs, in Spain, where she became a teen idol. Pavone enjoyed so much fame in Spain that it was commented, during a 2005 television documentary from that country, that such success for a foreign singer there is rare.
In the United States she sang alongside Diana Ross and The Supremes, Ella Fitzgerald, Tom Jones, Duke Ellington, Paul Anka and a number of singers of the era.
