hmmm1982 - Save Your Love by Renee and Renato
A duet of unbelievable naffness performed by Renato Pagliari, a one-time waiter from Birmingham, and a club singer, Hilary Lefter. The song's celebrated video featured 16-stone Pagliari serenading an actress in a blonde wig. Renato, a Rome-born cabaret tenor, was discovered singing in a restaurant and met Hilary while doing summer season at the Winter Gardens in Margate. But she left to go solo between their single being recorded and making the chart, so actress Val Penny was drafted in to replace her on the TV and the video. Renato now lives in Sutton Coldfield (2001) and continues to tour.
