I Ribelli

I Ribelli (English: The Rebels) were an Italian rock group. Originally formed in 1959 as Adriano Celentano's backup band, they later continued performing as an independent act. The band is best known for their cover versions of some of The Beatles' songs and Brian Poole & The Tremeloes' "Keep on Dancin'", entitled "Chi sarà la ragazza del Clan?", '"Who may be the girl of the Clan?"'. Some of the band members such as keyboardist Enzo Jannacci and guitarist Gino Santercole went on to successful solo careers.
