Mina and Alberto Lupo - Parole parole parole (Original First Version)

“Parole parole“ is a duet song by Gianni Ferrio, Leo Chiosso and Giancarlo Del Re. The song was originally performed by Mina and Alberto Lupo. The lyrics were written by Leo Chiosso and Giancarlo Del Re, the authors of the Italian Teatro 10 series of TV variety nights. The music and the score were by Gianni Ferrio, the conductor of the “Teatro 10“ orchestra. In Spring 1972, the song was the closing number of all eight of the “Teatro 10“ Saturday nights.

The single was released in April 1972 under PDU, Mina’s independent record label to become a top hit in Italian charts. The song was also published as one
