Biography
Frank Gari born Frank Daniel Garofalo in New York on April 1, 1944 is a popular singer and songwriter from the late 1950s and early 1960s. His best known songs as a performer are "Utopia", "Lullaby of Love" and "Princess", all of which hit the U.S. Top 40 Billboard charts in the early 1960s. Contributing to this early acclaim was Gari's unique rich voice blending with carefully selected melodic instrumentation and backup singers, all of which created a deep sense of magic, ethereal perfection, sincerity and emotion.
Gari is best known today as a music composer and producer for television, and is also one of the most sought after composers of music for television newscasts in America.
Other Notes
Just my own views but Frank Gari's "Utopia" is one of those great, early 60s teen idol hits that should have been even more successful than it was. A Top 30 hit in 1960, "Utopia" is a beautifully arranged pop song that is similar in tone to Frankie Avalon's "Venus."
