The passing of a great

I was saddened to hear the news today of the death of Renato Pagliari, who died last week aged 69. For those unfamiliar with Renato he was the voice of the classic Cornetto advert.




But Renato's finest hour came in 1982 when he teamed up with Hilary Lester who changed her name to ReneƩ for their Christmas number 1 "Save Your Love" which, along with Joe Dolce's "Shaddupa Your Face" was one of the biggest novelty hits of the 1980s. The video was cringe-worthy but there's something so awful about it it's almost good!
