Renée and Renato were a female/male vocal duo, who had a UK number-one hit in December 1982 with "Save Your Love".
[1] West Midlands-resident Italian-born Renato Pagliari auditioned for ITV's talent show New Faces in 1975, catching the attention of songwriter, Johnny Edward, who had written "Save Your Love".
[3] By that stage Lester had already joined another group, and the contractually enforced follow-up[2] "Just One More Kiss" peaked at number 55 in Australia.
He is also rumoured to have been the singer for the Wall's ice cream jingle "Just One Cornetto" (although this is claimed not to be the case by Pagliari's son, Remo[4]).
Renato died from complications following surgery on a brain tumour at Good Hope Hospital, Sutton Coldfield, on 29 July 2009, aged 69.
