  sul portale. Sono con la giornalista Enzo Mauri
• 1:08
  che introduce l 'argomento odierno. also conquering
• 1:29
  the first position. But how did the artist dedicated
• 1:49
  until that moment to progressive music come to
• 1:52
  mind to turn towards more commercial atmospheres?
• 1:54
  It was the years in which Alan Sorrenti traveled
• 1:56
  in search of a new artistic identity. Ours, in
• 1:59
  fact, went through a moment of crisis, but just
• 2:01
  reaffirmed by the success of the cover of Di
• 2:03
  Citancelle Vuglie of 1974, sung in falsetto mode,
• 2:08
  which will become the trademark of the future
• 2:10
  successes. First stage in the United States,
• 2:12
  San Francisco became the city of the Fusion album,
• 2:15
  sung in English Sientm Est. time to land, but
• 2:18
  the real turning point was the transfer to Los
• 2:20
  Angeles. that I had always imagined. In the American
• 2:34
  megalopoli, Alan Sorrenti met the guitarist J
• 2:37
  .Gradion, reduced from the collaboration with
• 2:39
  the Den styles, at the time at work with Al Jarreau.
• 2:42
  Undoubtedly, the Neapolitan singer was in the
• 2:44
  right place at the right time, meeting artists
• 2:46
  from the Carilbro dei Toto and David Foster at
• 2:49
  the keyboard in The Sons of the Stars, while
• 2:51
  J .Gradion will play and arrange the album. The
• 2:54
  sound of Los Angeles, destined to influence so
• 2:57
  much music, was the fortune of Alan Sorrenti
• 2:59
  who in fact I had the presumption that I could
• 3:02
  then change as I wanted. People would have followed
• 3:06
  me in any case. It wasn't like that. Because
• 3:08
  I did then, after I don't know what I would give
• 3:11
  another hit that I went to the Eurovision to
• 3:15
  represent Italy, I heard that I wanted to return
• 3:19
  to rock, to music without schemes, you know,
• 3:22
  these things that return. Look for the page and
• 3:25
  the group of 7080 .it on Facebook and relive
• 3:28
  with us your most beautiful years. The music
• 3:30
  of Figi delle Stelle was written in California,
• 3:32
  while the voice of the disc, which originally
• 3:34
  should have been called Heaven, was recorded
• 3:37
  in Milan. The long -term fans of Alan Sorrenti
• 3:40
  did not take well the change of pace of the artist.
• 3:42
  However, Figi delle Stelle proved revolutionary
• 3:44
  for those who anticipated the disco music of
• 3:46
  the film La Febbre del Sabato Sera, which from
• 3:48
  then on would have arrived in Italy. And yet,
• 3:51
  being sung in Italian, he was a precursor to...
• 3:53
  of the 80s Italo -Disco, where English would
• 3:56
  have been the predominant language. We had done
• 3:58
  this demo, we had done this, no, this demo, there
• 4:01
  was just all the instrumental base, there was
• 4:03
  a need to write the text and that's why I was
• 4:08
  returning to Italy. I needed Italian contact.
• 4:11
  According to the text, according to the artist,
• 4:13
  it contains a message that was then clarified
• 4:15
  and also scientifically confirmed, and that is
• 4:17
  that we humans derive from the stars. The title
• 4:20
  also inspired the homonymous film of 2010 directed
• 4:22
  by Lucio Pellegrini. Why then do we feel a bit
• 4:25
  like all the children of the stars? Who are the
• 4:27
  children of the stars for you? Because we are,
• 4:28
  we are. Why are we children of the stars in your
• 4:30
  opinion? Scientifically it can be proven that
• 4:32
  we have stellar matter inside us. I didn't know
• 4:35
  when I had this. Yes, the elements of the stars
• 4:40
  are inside us, so we belong to the universe.
• 4:45
  In 2017, the 40 -year -old children of the stars
• 4:49
  were celebrated with the publication of the double
• 4:51
  CD album with bonus disc that included unprecedented
• 4:54
  versions of the song and a new vinyl edition,
• 4:57
  180 grams. Italian success is also mentioned
• 5:35
  by Franco Battiato in the song Bandiera Bianca
• 5:38
  from 1981. We are children of the stars and great
• 5:42
