I like Chopin - Gazebo

Paul Mazzolini was born on February 18, 1960 in Beirut, Libanon as the son of an Italian diplomat and an American singer. He learned to play the guitar at 10 to impress a girl in his class.

He used the stage name Gazebo when he started his solo career in 1982. 'I like Chopin', released a year later, became an international success. The piano motif in the song is not a Chopin composition; actually the entire song was composed by Pierluigi Giombini. The single reached number 7 in the Dutch Top 40.

My collection: 7" single no. 216
Found: Studio Echo, Den Haag, 1983
Cost: 5,5 guilders
