An international superstar whose appeal spans not only Western Europe but also Latin America, Eros Ramazzotti, with his thin, sometimes gritty, reedy tenor is a best-selling Italian singer/songwriter with a distinctive voice and a wide-ranging pop/rock style that encompasses everything from adult contemporary to classical crossover. He initially established himself as a chart-topping twentysomething pop star in the mid-'80s. During the following decade he grew more sophisticated as a singer/songwriter, remaining remarkably successful from both a critical and commercial standpoint in the process. During the mid- to late-'90s, Ramazzotti racked up no less than seven Top Ten singles on the Latin charts, and after 1994's Todo Historias, placed a dozen album in the Top Ten on Latin, Airplay, and Heatseeker charts as well as scoring on the streaming lists with literally dozens of singles.
