Papetti reached the height of his popularity in the 1960s and 1970s, and all of his new albums were hits (most of which were also released in the Latin American market). During the 1970s, Papetti also released two collections a year, the best-selling being the 20th one from 1975.
These records are also characterized for their sexy covers, often featuring topless nudity. His influence on saxophone music was substantial and in the 1970s many imitators appeared, like Johnny Sax and Piergiorgio Farina.
