Gino Tonetti is an Italian and American singer.[1][2][3][4][5]
In the 1960s, he recorded in the United States for Coral Records.[6] When his debut album for the label, titled Gino Tonetti Sings, appeared in 1965, Billboard gave a positive review, writing: "The young six-foot Italian impresses as a distinctive new stylist. His lyric feel and tenderness are foremost throughout his reading of 'This Is All I Ask' and 'My Love Forgive Me'. He swings with ease through 'On the Street Where You Live' and 'C'est si bon'. A newcomer to watch."[2]
Starting from April 20, 1964, he performed at The Living Room, marking his New York debut.[7]
In April 1966, he was reported to soon start recording independently with producer Al Kasha and arranger Bob Halley.[4] He released at least one single produced by Kasha on Ting Records.[8]
He notably made singing appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show (in February 1966 and May 1970),[9][3][10] The Merv Griffin Show, and The Tonight Show.[1][11]
