Roberta Corti (21 March 1936 – 15 June 2006), better known by her stage name Betty Curtis, was an Italian singer active from 1957 to 2004.[1]
Curtis grew up in the Zone 8 of Milan's borough Cagnola. She started singing in night clubs at an early age and was discovered by Teddy Reno in 1958. Her debut single was a rendition of With All My Heart performed with the Franco Pisano Orchestra.
Curtis' song "Al di là", performed together with Luciano Tajoli, won the Sanremo Music Festival in 1961.[2] Betty Curtis represented Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1961 with her San Remo winning song, which tied for fifth in Cannes.[3]
In 1965 she returned to Sanremo with "Invece no".
Curtis's version of "Chariot" (I Will Follow Him) was used in the soundtrack of Martin Scorsese's film Goodfellas (1990).
