Sergio Caputo (born 31 August 1954) is an Italian singer-songwriter, composer, and guitarist. Born in Rome, while a university student Caputo started performing in Roman clubs, notably Folkstudio. After getting a degree in architecture and while working as an art director in advertising agency, Caputo began a parallel musical career, releasing a single in 1978 and an eponym EP in 1981. He had his breakout with "Un sabato italiano", the leading song of his eponymous debut album, which was released in 1983. It presented a style that combined jazz (with models like Cole Porter and Fats Waller), Latin-jazz pop and 1950s Italian swing along the lines of Natalino Otto and Fred Buscaglione. Dizzy Gillespie was a guest in two songs in his 1986 album Effetti personali. He participated in the Sanremo Music Festival three times, in 1987, 1989 and 1998.
