In 1960, he recorded a cover version of 'Volare', a song we know as 'Nel blu dipinto di blu', performed by Domenico Modugno at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1958. It was a big hit in the USA, peaking at number 4, whereas it also reached number 22 in the UK singles chart. This EP is a Swedish copy, but I don't know if it was a hit in Sweden. Rydell continued to make music until well into the Seventies.
