Adriano Pappalardo (born 25 March 1945) is an Italian singer, actor and television personality.
Born in Copertino, Lecce, Pappalardo started his career in 1971 with the song "Una donna".[1] He obtained his first success in 1972 with the R'n'B single "E' ancora giorno", written as some of his other songs of the time by the couple Lucio Battisti-Mogol,[1] which ranked second in the Italian hit parade.[2] After some other minor hits, such as the songs "Segui lui" and "Come bambini", Pappalardo had his major success in 1979 with the ballad "Ricominciamo".[1] In mid-eighties, following the commercial failure of the two albums Immersione and Oh! Era ora he focused on his acting career, usually playing tough men and villains.[1][3][4]
In 2003 Pappalardo had a significant personal success as a contestant of the reality show L'Isola dei Famosi (the Italian version of Celebrity Survivor).[1][3] In 2004 he took part at the Sanremo Music Festival with the song "Nessun consiglio".[1][3]
