Orchester Hugo Strasser - Reet Petite feat. Giacomo Di Benedetto
The Hugo Strasser Orchestra has a long tradition as the oldest dance orchestra in Europe. Again and again it was able to present the dancers with current hits in a big band garb and encourage them to join in. The orchestra is enjoying increasing popularity and was able to digitally expand its presence during the Corona crisis even without appearances and is happy about almost a million views on social media.
With the current single “Reet Petite“, written by Berry Gordon, Billy Davis and Gwen Gordy Fuqua, the orchestra commemorates the great singer Jackie Wilson, who owed his breakthrough to the title in 1957. On the present recording, Giacomo Di Benedetto, of Italian origin, has the honor of singing this title.
With his permanent membership as a singer in the orchestra, the talented Florentinian complements his career, which was already heard in the Eurovision Song Contest in Baku in 2012. He also sings in his adopted home Munich in the duo “ & “.
