In May 1964, Pavone's American debut album, The International Teenage Sensation, was released, and the single Remember Me became a hit. After scoring chart hits in Spain and Germany, he set his sights on the United States. More hits followed yet Reno was not content with success merely in Italy. The prize was a management contract with Reno - the man she would later marry - and a record deal with RCA Italiana, Her first single - La Partita di Pallone - The Football Match - sold more than a million copies, earning Pavone a regular slot on a popular Italian television variety series, Studio One.

Her father, Giovanni, was a fan of American musicals, and it was when she began singing along to his record collection, largely featuring Al Jolson, Judy Garland and Gene Kelly, that he realised she had talent. She was the third of four children yet it was not until 1959 that the family was able to move somewhere bigger, in the Mirafiori district, when a scheme run by the FIAT factory where her father worked enabled employees to obtain a family home at low rent.
