Giuseppe Chierchia (IPA: [dʒuˈzɛppe ˈkjɛrkja]; born August 14, 1952), known professionally as Pino D'Angiò (IPA: [ˈpiːno danˈdʒɔ]), is an Italo disco artist. He is best known for his hit 1980 song, "Ma quale idea". The bassline of the track was taken from "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" by McFadden & Whitehead,[1] and later sampled in Madison Avenue's 1999 hit "Don't Call Me Baby".[2] Under the name Age of Love, he and producer Bruno Sanchioni released an eponymous track in 1990 which featured vocals by French dancer Valérie Honoré.[3] The vocal is often misattributed to Dutch supermodel Karen Mulder.[4]
