Mina Anna Mazzini OMRI (born Anna Maria Mazzini 25 March 1940), known as Mina, is an Italian pop singer. For the great extension and agility of her soprano voice and her image as an emancipated lady, she was a staple of the Italian television variety shows and a doMinant figure on the Italian charts in the 1960s and 1970s. During the performances, Mina combined several modern styles with the traditional Italian melody making her the most versatile pop singer in Italian music. She doMinated the Italian charts for a decade, and reached an unsurpassed level of popularity in Italy. She has recorded over 1000 songs, 110 albums, sold 76 million records, and scored 70 singles in Italian charts. She gave up public appearances in 1978, but continued to release popular albums on a yearly basis to date. Mina's TV appearances in 1959 presented the first female rock and roll singer in Italy. Her loud syncopated singing earned her the nickname Queen of Screamers. For her wild gestures and body shakes, the publicity labeled her the Tiger of Cremona. Having turned to light pop tunes, Mina's chart-toppers in West Germany and Japan in 1962–1964 earned her the titles of best international artist in the respective countries. Mina's more refined sensual manner was introduced in 1960 with Gino Paoli's ballad "Il cielo in una stanza", which charted in the Billboard Hot 100.
