Nel ventennio compreso all'incirca tra il 1960 ed il 1979 nella musica pop italiana si verificò una specie di rivoluzione che gradualmente cambiò il modo di concepire la tanto amata "canzonetta", questo discorso vale in modo particolare per quello che riguarda il testo, in precedenza troppo spesso vincolato a pochi e in genere stupidi argomenti. Come ho già detto in post precedenti, furono senz'altro i cantautori gli artefici del rinnovamento e del miglioramento qualitativo sostanziale della canzone italiana; qui, specificatamente, intendo parlare the lyrics where stars are celebrities of the past more or less recently, from disparate worlds (from film to religion, from sports to history, etc...) There are songs, including both "soft" and "engaged" foreign authors reworked songs in Italian, very popular songs and songs virtually unknown. Here is the list of song titles with an indication of the disc of origin and, in parentheses, with the character to which the text refers. At the end there is a video of "Gagarin", song by Claudio Baglioni.
