History
Lucio Dalla sang in a hoarse, elastic voice that could drop to a mutter and then climb into something close to opera, and he built songs that behave more like short stories than pop singles. He came out of Bologna and out of jazz, playing clarinet in local bands before he started writing, and that background stayed audible in the way his melodies wander off the expected path. In the 1970s he worked with the poet Roberto Roversi on a run of dense, political records, then turned to writing his own lyrics and found a warmer, stranger voice. "4 marzo 1943" took his own birth date as a title and told the story of a child born to a very young mother in wartime. "Caruso", written in the 1980s after a stay in Sorrento, became the piece the rest of the world knows him by, carried further by Pavarotti and later by Bocelli. On stage he was unmistakable: wool cap, beard, round glasses, and a habit of talking to the hall as if the concert were a conversation.
