Mercifully a one hit wonder, neither him (cancer, I hope) nor the song were ever heard of again - like a little national shame we stay quiet about.
Still haunts me though.

I thought Joe Dolce was Australian.

I haven't a clue where he was from, but reckon he was about as Italian looking as they come, the name 'Dolce' has a definite latin ring to it, and the song was about his Italian mamma's favourite expression.

Heartwarming to think he's probably in Aus - as far as is physicallly possible from here!

Say . . . you seem to know a lot about him . . .
