Zappacosta's first band was Surrender, a five-piece group that recorded three albums in the late 1970s and early 1980s. In 1984, he recorded his first solo album, Zappacosta, which contained the hit singles "Passion" and "We Should Be Lovers". As a result, he won the Juno Award for "Most Promising Male Vocalist" the same year.[3]
In 1985, Zappacosta lent his voice to the Canadian charity song "Tears Are Not Enough", produced by David Foster[citation needed], singing the lines "Maybe we could understand the reasons why" in the fifth stanza, with Dalbello.
His second album, A to Z, was released in 1986 and featured the hit singles "When I Fall (In Love Again)" and "Nothing Can Stand in Your Way". Following this, a Zappacosta song entitled "Overload" was added to the 1987 Dirty Dancing soundtrack, one of the biggest-selling soundtracks of the 1980s. [citation needed] Later that year, Zappacosta sang the radio commercial jingle for Pizza Nova.[4][5][6]
A third album, Quick!...Don't Ask Any Questions, was released in 1990, before the artist took time off to hone his vocal and guitar skills.[citation needed] He also pursued acting in various stage performances, and had a role in the 2005 Canadian movie Halo (not to be confused with the movie about the Microsoft videogame of the same name).[citation needed]
Zappacosta has subsequently released more albums, including 2004's Start Again, which contains reworked versions of some of his classic hits from the 1980s.
