Sal Solo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sal Solo (born in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, England) is a British singer. He was the lead vocalist of the New Romantic group Classix Nouveaux, and also was the singer for the French group Roketz.
Classix Nouveaux had number one hits in Poland, Portugal, Israel, Iceland and other countries in the early 1980s, one Top 20 and various other Top 50 hits in the United Kingdom, with EMI Records ("Is It a Dream" reached No.11). Solo also sang with Rockets, who sold a million and a half albums in Italy, for their last three albums, after they gave up with their former Space Rock and Electronic music style; eventually, he pursued a solo career, releasing one album with MCA Records.
After visiting San Damiano in Italy, he returned to his Catholic faith. He had a solo hit with "San Damiano (Heart And Soul)" which reached number fifteen in the UK Singles Chart, and went to Number 1 in Poland.
In 2003 Aled Jones recorded a new version of "San Damiano", for his album Higher, which remained in the UK Albums Chart Top 40 for several weeks, and earned a silver disc.
After 1987, Solo stopped recording music commercially, though he has made a number of Christian albums. He now lives in Chicago and works with Catholic teens in the United States and other parts of the world.
