Valerie Dore, born Monica Stucchi on May 28, 1963, in Milan, Italy, emerged as a prominent figure in the Italo disco scene of the 1980s. Initially a graphic designer and bluegrass vocalist, she transitioned to dance music under the guidance of producer Roberto Gasparini. Her debut single, "The Night" (1984), became a European hit, followed by "Get Closer" and "It's So Easy." In 1986, she released her album "The Legend," featuring the successful single "Lancelot." After a hiatus, Dore returned in 2006 with "How Do I Get to Mars?" Her ethereal vocals and romantic melodies continue to influence artists in the electronic and dance music genres.
