Biography of Sabrina Salerno

Sabrina Salerno is an Italian pop singer who is best known for embodying the sensuality, beauty, and passion of her country and the genre that was born and named after it. By 1986, she had already won several beauty pageants, including Miss Liguria, a title that represents the Mediterranean coastline of Northern Italy. This success led to her being invited to television, where she became a popular presenter on one of the channels owned by media magnate and current Prime Minister of Italy, Silvio Berlusconi. It was Berlusconi who ultimately helped her break into the music industry. Her producer became Claudio Checchetto.

Early Success and Iconic Hit

In early 1987, Sabrina released her first single titled "Sexy Girl," but it was her second single that brought her true popularity. "Boys (Summertime Love)" was a hot, energetic anthem filled with eroticism and passion. The music video, featuring Sabrina's stunning bust, accentuated the song's direction and captivated millions of men across Europe. The video's success made Sabrina one of the sex symbols and the queen of Italo-disco in the USSR. The song also marked a transition towards Eurodance, with its incorporation of male recitations and strong beats.

Continued Success and Albums

Following the release of the mega-hit "Boys," Sabrina released another single titled "Hot Girl." In late 1987 and early 1988, she released her first album, titled "Sabrina." The album featured the single "Lady Marmalade," known as "Voulez-Vous Coucher Avec Moi" in France. In 1988, she released another mega-hit called "All Of Me," which was produced by the legendary team of producers Stock/Aitken/Waterman from the UK. The song gained popularity across Europe.

Sabrina continued her success with the release of singles such as "My Chico," which became a number one hit in Italy and charted in the top ten in other European countries. Subsequent singles, including "Sex," "Guys and Dolls," "Pirate of Love," and "Doctor's Orders," as well as remixes of her hits, further solidified Sabrina's success. She released two more albums, "Super Sabrina" in 1989 and "Over The Pop" in 1990.

Later Career and Return

In 1991, Sabrina released the single "Yeah Yeah," which she wrote herself. She then teamed up with another singer, Jo Squillo, to record the song "Siamo Donne," her first duet and Italian-language song. The song was presented at the famous Sanremo Music Festival in the same year but did not achieve great success. Her next single, "Shadows Of The Night," released at the end of 1991, was only issued in Italy and also had limited success. Around the same time, her second single not featured on any of her albums, "Cover Model," was released in France and Italy.

After a three-year hiatus, Sabrina returned in 1994, during a different musical era. She released singles that encompassed both the old style of Italo-disco and the new style of Eurodance, titled "Rockawillie" and "Angel Boy," respectively. She also collaborated with Elvio Moratto to create a remix of her 1987 hit "Boys (Summertime Love)." Her new single, "Fatta E Rifatta," was released from her comeback album "Maschio dove sei," which marked her first release under her full name. In 1996, she released another album called "Numeri," after which Sabrina once again disappeared until 1999, when she released the single "I Love You" and the album "A Flower's Broken."
