Joe Dolce (pronounced /ˈdoʊl.tʃeɪ/, originally /ˈdoʊlts/; born 1947 in Painesville, Ohio) is an American-born, Australian-resident singer/songwriter who achieved fame with the million-selling song "Shaddap You Face", recorded under his vehicle, the group named Joe Dolce Music Theatre and released in 1980. The song reached number one in 15 countries.[1] The track famously kept Ultravox's "Vienna" off the number one singles spot in the U.K.
