Er..you mean if he sang under some other aliases?
If so, as for Eurobeat I don't think so 'cause he was the guy on the
picture sleeves of the vinyls of Max Coveri songs, that is to say he
was Max Coveri himself as the name implies.

OTOH in Italian dance he was known as Billy More. The main vocalist
for this project was John Biancale, though.

Also he seemd to use a pseudo name Massimo Brancacci.

When I first saw him on DELTA's sleeve for "I Don't Wanna Break Your Sweet Heart", I thought he also sang the song, but later leaned otherwise. I guess one of his last songs in Italo was TIME's "Comeback" right?

Right. But all the songs from his album TOY BOY were recorded at TIME
studio at a TIME, so it makes no sense to figure which song comes after
which one, eh? :P

He really seemed to keep that in the dark of Italo world at least through his Max Coveri years. I'll add him to the list of other greats like Pete Burns, Divine, Fancy and Sylvester.

That song "Up & Down" would be pretty cool if it had Eurobeat style. Funny how he loses his accent when singing other style music.

Ohhhh, that he did. That he did.

And, for all intensive purposes, he did not do a bad job as a dragger. :P

Sombody should remix that song "Millenium Girl" ala Eurobeat. There is an Italo groove hidden there. ..and those lyrics, So DIRTY!! He also makes a rermake of one of my all-TIME favs..Boom Boom Let's Go back To My Room. :D Not a bad house version. Should have been a duet with Paul Lekakis.
