Baltimora

Baltimora was formed in Milan, Italy, in 1983, and was active in the Italo disco scene. Its leader was Maurizio Bassi, a session musician who was also a producer. He brought together other session musicians to form a group that became known for a single: "Tarzan Boy." The band had a strong following in Italy and other European countries.

The band consisted of the following members: Bassi on keyboards and vocals, Naymi Hackett also on vocals, Giorgio Cocilovo on guitar, Claudio Bazzari on rhythm guitar, Pier Michelatti on bass, and Gabriele "Lele" Melotti on drums. Jimmy McShane, a singer and dancer from Northern Ireland, later joined the group. Bassi recruited him because he wanted a certain image for the band. McShane stood out for his style, his clothes, and his dancing.
