Early career and success in Italy

His musical career began in 1970, with several small bands such as I Ducali, Le Nuove Luci, Sugar & Daniel, Sugar & Candies and finally with a band named Taxi, with whom he won the Castrocaro Music Festival in 1981.

He made his first appearance in the famous Sanremo festival next year with the songs “Una notte che vola via” and in 1983 with “Nuvola” at Festival dei Fiori. His first album, Un po’ di Zucchero, was released the same year with moderate success.

In 1984, Fornaciari temporarily moved to California, where he collaborated for the first time with Italian producer Corrado Rustici. The result of these sessions, with a backing band that included bassist Randy Jackson, was the 1985 album Zucchero & The Randy Jackson Band, of which the single “Donne” became a huge hit in Italy.
