Jacques Fred Petrus & Mauro Malavasi were probably the most successful Italian production team. They will always be remembered for their refined, well-arranged, highly structured and soulful Italian disco sound. Many of their studio concepts were amalgamations of Italian studio musicians and American session vocalists. The very melodious and funky dance music was by all means as stylish as an Armani jacket or a Ferrari sports car and oozed pure energy. The partnership scored international hits with productions for Peter Jacques Band, Macho, Change, High Fashion and The B.B.&Q. Band.
