Giuseppe Chierchia (IPA: [dʒuˈzɛppe ˈkjɛrkja]; August 14, 1952 – July 6, 2024[1]), known professionally as Pino D’Angiò (IPA: [ˈpiːno danˈdʒɔ]), has been an Italo disco artist. He was best known for his hit 1980 song, “Ma quale idea“.[2] The bassline of the track was taken from “Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now” by McFadden & Whitehead,[3] and later sampled in Madison Avenue’s 1999 hit “Don’t Call Me Baby“.[4] Under the name Age of Love, he and producer Bruno Sanchioni released an eponymous track in 1990 which featured vocals by French dancer Valérie Honoré.[5] The vocal is often misattributed to Dutch supermodel Karen Mulder.[6]
