Italian model and singer Stefano Zandri (born June 4th, 1962 in Nova Milanese) found fame in the Italo disco scene of the 1980s as Den Harrow, ostensibly a solo artist from Boston, Massachusetts. However, Zandri would reveal years later that his musical contributions to the project had actually been minimal; he had, in fact, been lip-synching to the voices of others, predominantly those of American singer Tom Hooker, and had been portraying a character purportedly from the States in order to broaden his international appeal. To his credit, it had all gone according to plan. Harrowâs first two singles, âTo Meet Meâ and âA Taste of Loveâ, were vocalled by former Passengers member Chuck Rolando and arrived in 1983 to minor success. His next three offerings, âMad Desireâ, âBad Boyâ and âFuture Brainâ, each taken from the 1985 debut album Overpower, all landed in Italyâs top 20, with the latter two singles spreading his name across Europe. Harrowâs second album, Day By Day (1987), was once again produced by Turatti and Chieregato, and housed the international hits âCatch the Fox (Caccia Alla Volpe)" and âDonât Break My Heartâ. Opting for the higher-pitched voice of Englandâs Anthony James on the 1988 LP Lies, Harrow enjoyed two further chart hits in Italy in âYou Have a Wayâ and âBorn to Loveâ. After a run of compilations in the 1990s and star TV appearances, Zandri went on to re-record Den Harrow hits using his own voice for the first time, and released two new original songs, âPush Pushâ and âFEDEN - Lo soâ, in 2006 and 2007.
