In putting this on here I found that the Hollies didn't write the track, that it was written by Al Hammond and Mike Hazelwood, and then performed by the Hollies.
From what I've heard Cipriani's melodies are often predictable, but lovely, with progressions not unlike the Gloria Gaynor's I will survive, but his instrumentation, perhaps you'd call it the italian style, give it a kind of bright sound.
This is off an album in which most if not all of the instruments used were kids toys, which I have a little trouble believing, especially when it comes to the drums. This is originally a Doobie Brothers song, but this cover brings out a lot of the subtle nuances which go unheard in the original.
This track is so beatiful, and i find it popping up in a lot of degradingly funny places; its one of those tracks you hear in situations that are extremely sexy, though if you watched Nacho Libre, you might have noticed a more ironic use of the track.

This is one of the rare italian soundtracks from the era in which I would recommend you see the movie. Camille 2000 is a stylish gem of aristocratic sex and fantasy in the late sixties. The score is has a sweeping beauty, lush sounds which match the eroticism of the film.
