Italians take top San Remo honors
SAN REMO, Italy (Reuters) — Italians Bobby Solo and Iva Zanicchi won the 19th San Remo song festival here Saturday with a rendition of Zingara (Gypsy).
Second place went to Beatles’ protégé Mary Hopkin, who ranked high on international hit parades with Those Were the Days. She sang a nostalgic ballad Lontano Dagli Occhi (Far From Sight) together with last year’s festival winner Sergio Endrigo.
Americans Wilson Pickett and Stevie Wonder were among the other 11 finalists.
From The Toronto Star – February 3, 1969
