Gene Guglielmi

Gene Guglielmi was one of the first beat singers and performers in Italy, one of their single discs was "I capelli lunghi" (long hair), a sort of declaration of the beat principles, another one about this movement was "Preghiera Beat" (beat prayer). Afterwards he interpreted and published in Italian two french hits of Jacques Dutronc: "Et moi, et moi, et moi" and "Mini, mini, mini". Gene Guglielmi abandoned the musical scene when the beat movement started to disappear, to escape a commercial career.
