Lara Saint Paul was born in Asmara. As a small child she moved to Italy and she made Italy her new home. As a girl, curious about music, Lara was spending enchanted hours listening to the magnificence of gopels and spirituals; she was populating her room with the majestic shadows of Mahalia Jackson, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald.
At sixteen, Lara went to the Sanremo Festival, the mecca of the Italian song. She was immediately recognized as an emerging talent. Sucess came in 1967. In 1968 Lara made a triumphant comeback to Sanremo, singing a duet with Louis Armstrong who said of her, "She is one of the most talented singers I ever met in all my life."
Lara began singing all over Europe and in the United States. In Los Angeles she sang with Bill Conti, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Henry Mancini and Robert Flack. She was produced by Quincy Jones and Leon Ware, won Gold Records in Europe and awards at the International Music Festival in Tokyo.
