About this person
Salvatore Adamo was born November 1, 1943, in Comiso, Sicily, and moved to Belgium at three, where he grew up and claimed dual citizenship. He built his career on romantic ballads performed mostly in French, but also Italian, Dutch, English, German, Spanish, Japanese, and Turkish. By the second half of the sixties he had become the world's second best-selling musician after The Beatles, eventually moving more than 80 million albums and 20 million singles - the best-selling Belgian artist of all time. His reach stretched across Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, Japan, and the United States; songs like "Tombe la neige", "Inch'Allah", and "Petit bonheur" became standards, covered by hundreds of artists. The Japanese version of "Tombe la neige" alone has been recorded over 500 times, making it Japan's most popular Christmas song. Belgium knighted him in 2001, France made him an officer of the Légion d'honneur in 2005, Italy named him a Commander in the Order of the Star in 2015, and Japan awarded him the Order of the Rising Sun in 2016.
