BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985
“Bad Boy” was the second single taken from the debut album “Overpower” by Den Harrow (born 4 June 1962 as Stefano Zandri) an Italo disco artist and fashion model. The name Den Harrow was conceived by producers Roberto Turatti and Miki Chieregato, who based it on the Italian word Denaro (money).
After years of fame and popularity, it was revealed by frontman Stefano Zandri and his producers that Zandri did not actually sing any of the songs credited to Den Harrow; he was essentially a character who lip-synched to vocals recorded by a number of other singers.
“Bad Boy” was actually sung by American vocalist Tom Hooker, also known as Thomas Barbey, who was residing in Italy during the Italo disco era and had several hits under his name. “Bad Boy” charted in several European countries including #3 Italy, #17 France, #20 Germany, #10 Spain and #11 Switzerland becoming one of Den Harrow’s biggest hits.
