Paolo Mengoli (born 14 August 1950) is an Italian singer, mainly successful between late 1960s and 1970s.

Life and career

Born in Bologna, after performing in several local music halls in 1968 Mengoli won the Castrocaro Music Festival.[1][2] In 1969 he got his major hit with the song " Perché l'hai fatto" with whom he competed at Un disco per l'estate.[1][2] In 1972 he won the "Group B" of the Cantagiro with the song "Mi piaci da morire".[1]

Mengoli slowed his activities in the mid-1970s, partially relaunching his career between late 1980s and early 1990s thanks to his apparitions on several TV-programs.[1][2] He entered the competition at the Sanremo Music Festival three times between 1970 and 1992.[1][2]
