With Turatti, Chieregato, and Hooker working behind the scenes, Den Harrow gained success in Italy while Zandri performed live.
After years of silence, Hooker claimed ownership of vocals on several Den Harrow releases through a YouTube video.
Zandri spoke positively about the arrangement and accused Hooker of breaking a gentlemen's agreement that would damage Den Harrow's reputation.
Despite initially turning down offers, Hooker eventually performed at a concert and introduced Den Harrow as a project similar to Milli Vanilli.
Hooker signed autographs after a Los Angeles concert and told a fan that Zandri had no involvement in the Den Harrow recordings.
Zandri faced financial difficulties due to unpaid taxes on his Den Harrow earnings and struggled to find work.
