| Paul Delicato began his musical career
in his native St. Louis/Missouri during his early teens, his first interests
being in Rhythm & Blues. His reputation as a bass player spread quickly
and he was soon playing ‘gigs’ with Ike & Tina Turner, Little
Milton, Chuck Berry, Albert King, Fontella Bass and other Blues artists
based in the St. Louis area. At the age of twenty he began singing, and
added guitar to his instrumental repertoire.
It was about this time that he began to listen seriously to Country Music, though he had developed a love for the style some years earlier. He felt then as he does now, that Blues and Country are closely related, and the influence of R&B is quite evident in his Country style. Several years later Paul switched back to the bass guitar and began playing and singing for Jazz great Mary Kaye of the famed Mary Kaye Trio. By 1980 Paul began putting his own shows together, and thanks to a recording contract, 5 albums and several chart records, he toured the USA and many parts of the world, including several tours of South America. During this period of his musical development, Paul sang Romantic and Pop songs, including his hits, but his shows were always graced with at least a touch of Country Music. In 1992 Paul was asked to join COUNTRY TONITE at
the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas/Nevada, where he performed as host, musician
and featured performer for 5½ years. He also served as Director
of the award winning show from 1994, and performed in and directed the
Branson/ Missouri company during it’s first year of production. In 2002 Paul signed with ZYX Records in Merenburg/Germany. His CD, entitled ‘So Many Ways’, will be released sometime in early 2003, and a European Tour is now in the planning stages. Paul also is a proficient songwriter, having written more than half of the songs on his CD, and some of his earlier hit records such as Ice Cream Sodas And Lollipops And A Red Hot Spinning Top and Cara Mia can still be heard on radio stations across the country. |
