Wanderley Conti Cardoso, born March 10, 1945, in São Paulo, Brazil, is a Brazilian singer who began performing at 13 years old. He achieved a breakthrough in 1965 with the single "Preste Atenção" and gained widespread fame as an idol of the Jovem Guarda movement. He earned the nickname O Bom Rapaz following his 1967 hit "O Bom Rapaz", which sold more than five million copies. Cardoso worked as a presenter on radio and television, appearing on shows such as Os Adoráveis Trapalhões and Os Galãs cantam e dançam na TV. In 1972 a severe assault left him nearly blind in his right eye. Throughout his career, he recorded over 900 songs across 84 albums. By 2014 he moved to Campinas, where he announced an Italian-language album.
