Career

The group formed in 1964 in Milan. They initially adopted a beat repertoire, and they released their first single in 1966, "Bambina sola", a cover of The Grass Roots' "You're a Lonely Girl". In 1967 the band released their first album, Bambina sola, which was widely influenced by American contemporary folk music. In 1968 the group got their first hit with " Gli occhi verdi dell'amore", a cover of "Angel of the Morning", which started a progressive distancing from beat genre.

In 1970 the lead singer Renato Brioschi recorded, with the name "Renato dei Profeti", the song ″Lady Barbara″ which turned out to be a hit that peaked at first place on the Italian hit parade; following the success of the song Brioschi left the group to pursue a solo career. From then the group gradually began to perform more melodic songs, and their singles "Era bella", "Prima notte senza lei" and "Io perché, io per chi", released between 1971 and 1973, all charted on the Italian hit parade, respectively peaking at sixth, eighteenth and tenth place.
