In 1968, he recorded two more songs: "Da Bambino", Ma L'amore cos'è" and "Preghiera". ![]() A year later, he made another TV appearance singing, "Pietà per chi ti ama". In 1966, he made his TV debut singing "Bene Mio". ![]() Two years later, he would re-emerge under his new stage name, Massimo Ranieri. None of the records were successful, primarily because young Gianni's voice was changing. Ranieri recorded four songs in 1964: Tanti auguri signora, Se mi aspetti stasera, Non chiudere la porta, and La Prima Volta. He was discovered by a music producer about four years later and was flown to New York to record an EP under the name of Gianni Rock. When he was 10, young Giovanni would sing at restaurants, wedding receptions, etc. Ranieri was born in Naples ( at Santa Lucia), the fifth of eight children in the family.
