A song from my childhood

Gigliola Cinquetti - Alle porte del Sole
Even those who have no idea what she is singing ought to appreciate the tune. It was a monster hit in the 1973-4 winter.

I was playing this, with the volume turned up, and my wife came into my study and demanded to know where I got this song.

Her dad was in show business in Italy, and after he retired as a dancer, he got into lighting and sound. He mostly worked with Raffaella Carra (for whom my wife is a dead ringer and sometimes used to distract fans at the stage door while the real La Carra got into a car out front) but he apparently also did some tour work with this Gigliola Cinquetti. She was very kind to my wife, who really enjoyed listening to this. Thanks!
