Taffy's Music Journey
Taffy's music career began in the late 1970s. She became well-known for her energetic dance songs. Her music was popular in Italy before becoming a hit in other countries.
"I Love My Radio"
Taffy's most famous song is "I Love My Radio". It was first a big hit in Italy in 1985. The song was about a disc jockey playing music late at night.
When the song was released in the United Kingdom, it was changed a little. This was because not many radio stations in the UK played music all night back then. The new version was called "I Love My Radio (Dee Jay's Radio)". This version became a huge success in the UK. It reached number 6 on the UK Singles Chart.

Taffy also had other songs that did well. One of these was "Step by Step". This song was a cover of an earlier track by Silver Pozzoli. It reached number 59 on the UK charts in 1987.
Taffy also sang on a special charity song in 1987. This song was a cover of "Let It Be" by a group called Ferry Aid. It helped raise money for a good cause.
