DEN HARROW italo disco's pretty boy
Refreshed with more music.
Does it really matter that Den Harrow didn't really sing the songs he is attributed to have sung? His image and his dancing were also a part of the magic weren't they? I'm not gonna defend him. This marketing tool has been used in Italy often and in other countries too. So in a way it's not really his fault is it? Fat Den Zip
There is no doubting that he had a long string of hits from 1983 right up to the end of the 80's. In fact there was enough interest in him that in Germany he even had some releases into the 90's and he received the Bravo Golden Otto award in 1987. This signified that he was Germany's favorite male vocalist, even ahead of Michael Jackson!
The first release To Meet Me in 1983 was one of many greatly produced Turatti and Chieregato tracks that propelled Italo Disco so much in the 80's.
In the 2000's he was once again in the public eye in Italy. As a contestant on Isola dei Famosi, a strange mixture of Survivor and Celebrity Big Brother. He often cried on air and definitely had a hard time on the island.
The zip contains most of the hits and even a few of the lesser hits. GET SOME DEN
They are a perfect mirror of the italo disco genre because he had songs representing all of the types of the genre. Some better then others but in any case still a great peek into the sound.
