History

Salvatore Adamo writes small, slow songs and sings them in a soft voice with a faint accent that never left him. His family moved from Sicily to the Belgian coal country when he was a child, and he began in French with melodies closer to a waltz or a slow ballad than to the rock arriving at the same time. Tombe la neige, built on a falling melodic line and an image of snow and waiting, became the song he is known by, and it travelled far past France: Japan took it up, and in the Soviet Union it reached an audience that knew almost nothing else in French. Inch'Allah showed the other side of his writing, a plain-spoken song about the Middle East that he kept reworking as the conflict changed. Vous permettez, Monsieur has the courtliness typical of him, a request phrased as a question. He sang in Italian, Spanish and German as well, and the delivery stayed the same in every language: quiet, unhurried, close to the microphone.
