enrico farina

Today's great Italian died recently. Famous for his tacky wig-like hairdo and nasally vibrato, though a lousy singer, for being there in the background of Italian-Canadian lives all these years (if only as an annoying mosquito whine), Enrico Farina is nevertheless a great Italian. The Corriere ran a nice (if inaccurate where his singing abilities are concerned) obit on him (in italiano of course).
