AMII STEWART

From Washington… She started with a bang in 1979 with a cover of a 1960s track… “Knock on Wood,” which reached the top of the world charts. This was followed by nearly the same level of success with another cover: “Light My Fire” by The Doors.

Amii was subsequently unable to replicate these successes and eventually moved to Italy, where she still lives today and has released several moderately successful albums, collaborating with various Italian artists. She is best remembered for her duet with Gianni Morandi, “Grazie perché,” and the track “Friends” with the late Mike Francis.
