Raffaella Carrà - A far l’amore comincia tu (1977) • TopPop
Italian singer Raffaella Carrà has died at the age of 78. Italian television maker Sergio Japino announced this yesterday, July 5, 2021. Carrà became known, especially in the Netherlands, for her song ’A Far L’amore Comincia Tu’.

When the Italian singer appeared in the studio of Avro’s Toppop, the whole country sang along: ’Scoppia scoppia mi sco...’, and then that double explosion of the bass drum. And although Carrà would turn out to be a one-hit wonder in the Netherlands with her song, the song became a cult hit here too, which would continue to pop up everywhere, from carnival to hipster parties.
