Luisa Casali has been played on NTS in shows including House Call, featured first on 6 January 2017. Songs played include Il Momento Della Verità and Sunny.

Italian singer Luisa Casali (born Maria Luisa Capocasale in Milan in 1947) is perhaps best known for having cut an earlier version of Dusty Springfield’s Give me time. Inexplicably, she failed to enjoy a hit with her version. Then, despite their quality, none of her further recordings – including the dancefloor filler Il momento della verità – managed to propel her into the premier league of Italy’s pop princesses either.  

After studying accounting, she began singing in clubs in and around Milan, and spent a season appearing in the town of Grado. She was spotted by the Philips label and offered a recording contract under a new, simplified version of her name, Luisa Casali.
