Artist: Albatros
Author: Toto Cutugno/Vito Pallavicini/Stuart Ward/Pasquale Losito
Label: Carosello
Year: 1975

Italian band with coauthor Toto Cutugno. They recorded an Italian and an English version, justifying the name Ward among creditholders. With Joe Dassin's french version, the names of Pierre Delanoë and Claude Lemesle were added. Benny Neyman translated it in Dutch. Everyone's making money on Africa's back.
