Biography

Born in Cogorno, Liguria, to a Neapolitan father and a Genoese mother, Franchi made his singing debut at age 10, playing a hunchback in a school play. He performed with jazz groups in Italy before immigrating to South Africa in 1947, following the completion of his compulsory military service. There, he worked as a draftsman and designed commercial interiors for his father's furniture business. Within a few years, his amateur singing career advanced to leading roles in operetta and opera.

After gaining local fame, Franchi was encouraged to return to Italy to pursue an operatic career. However, destiny led him to opportunities in popular music and television instead. Discovered on a BBC TV show, he signed an RCA recording contract and joined the Sol Hurok 1962-63 concert tour. Sergio Franchi quickly rose to multi-media stardom in America and became a U.S. citizen in 1972.
