Background

Born in Catania, Bella started his career as composer for his sister, singer Marcella Bella authoring several hits with lyricist Giancarlo Bigazzi.[1][2] In the seventies he debuted as a singer himself, scoring his first major success in 1974 with the song "Più ci penso", which ranked second in the Italian hit parade.[3] In 1976 he topped the hit parade[3] and won the Festivalbar contest with the song "Non si può morire dentro", originally planned to be sung by her sister.[4] In 1981 he entered the competition at the Sanremo Music Festival with the song "Questo amore non si tocca"; he returned in Sanremo five more times between 1986 and 2007, three times in couple with her sister Marcella.[2] In 1983 Bella stopped the collaboration with Bigazzi and started a new phase alongside Mogol; between late 1990s and 2000s the couple signed some extraordinary sales successes for Adriano Celentano.[2] In January 2010 he suffered a stroke and subsequently he lost his speech and the use of a leg.[5]
