The frenchman Caravelli

Caravelli is a easy listening conductor and arranger. Was born September 12 of 1930 in Paris, France, from Italian father and French mother. He was initially instructed in music by his mother in piano and voicing/harmony at seven years old, and later, when he was thirteen he started to attend the Paris Conservatoire.
In 1959 with the help of famous French jazz bandleader Ray Ventura, he obtained a contract to form his own orchestra oriented to popular music.
He signed a contract with the French record label Versailles. His first album “Dance Party” is recorded (issued also in STEREO).
Later Versailles is acquired by Columbia records (1964). Thanks to CBS worldwide distribution facilities soon he started a real international career, obtaining gold records in France, Japan, Israel and South America.
In 1970 he composed “L'Homme Qui Vient De La Nuit” soundtrack film, starred by Ivan Rebroff. This soundtrack was issued in lp by CBS France.
In the middles '80 in order to up to date his sound he started to share the rhythm arrangements with his son Patrick Vasori and prestigious musicians like Gilles Gambus and Serge Planchon, who also played keyboards and synthesizers with the orchestra.

Many of the songs are memorable Caravelli. Especially in Brazil due to sau exposure in the FM stations during the second decade of the '70s and early '80s. His music played in the daily schedule of radio, something hard to occur today. Some successes can be melodic as C'est La Vie Lily, Alone In the World, Angelique, Borriquito and Fio Maravilha (from Jorge Ben, or Jorgen Benjor). Excellent chord can be heard on Fire And Rain, Goodbye, La Mal Aime, Perptum Valse, Porque Yo Te Amo, Romantic Blues and Yellow River. Among his best songs can not forget Je Viens t'emmene, Avant de mourir, C'est a mayerling, Here's to you, Il Etait Une Fois Dans L'Quest, In The Summertime and La Chanson de Jumelles. Each song, a style. In particular the songs of the '70s. All are memorable, and can not forget like La Lontananza, La Machine Infernal, La Ruta, Modemoisele Lise, Ton nom, Trout como en 1925, Un Rayo de Sol, Viso D'Angelo and Wigwam. A great conductor!
