Hugo & Luigi

Real Name:
Hugo Peretti, Luigi Creatore
Profile:
Hugo & Luigi were a record producing team, made up of songwriters and producers Luigi Creatore and Hugo Peretti, who shared an office in New York's Brill Building. Besides their working relationship, the two were cousins.

First coming to attention with singles released on Mercury Records in the mid-1950s, they went on to produce Perry Como, Elvis Presley, Sam Cooke and other artists for RCA Victor, including the hit records "Twistin' The Night Away", "Another Saturday Night", "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" by The Tokens, the Isley Brothers's classic "Shout", and Little Peggy March's "I Will Follow Him".
They co-wrote Presley's hit "Can't Help Falling in Love", with George David Weiss.

Hugo & Luigi were also onetime co-owners of Roulette Records.
Songs composed by the duo were often credited to "Mark Markwell", and records they produced carried their distinct logo. While at Roulette Hugo and Luigi did a series of Beautiful Music recordings of "Cascading Voices" and later "Cascading Strings."

After founding Avco Records and producing artists such as The Stylistics in the 1970s, Hugo & Luigi launched a new label, H & L Records, which they ran until they retired, at the end of the 70's decade. Peretti died in 1986.
