A few days into the tour, Rossi's inseparable friend, as well as guitarist and writer/cowriter of many songs and lyrics, Massimo Riva, died unexpectedly. The evening is immortalized in both video and in the 1999 live album Rewind. Given the low propensity of these songs to fit in his live show with the songs his fans had up to that time become accustomed to, he decided to hold just one concert in 1998, accepting the offer to be a guest star on the first evening of the new Heineken Jammin' Festival in Imola, Italy. The nature of the songs, however, did not impede Rossi from winning his second Festivalbar with the song, 'L'una per te' the name of this song, and the whole lyrics, is a word pun between the words 'Luna' ('Moon') and 'L'una' ('The one').


In 1998, Rossi rediscovered his singer-songwriter side, recording and releasing the album Canzoni per me ('Songs for me') with a softer and less 'rock' sound, even remaking never-published songs written at the beginning of his career.

Rossi argued that Salvalaggio evidently did not understand his music and remarked how easy it is to criticize a still unknown artist who cannot defend himself. The performance did not particularly please journalist Nantas Salvalaggio, who published a scathing article against Rossi calling him a drug addict. The controversy actually increased Rossi's popularity, and he quickly saw himself famous on a national level, particularly after performing live on Domenica In, a popular Italian television program. His most controversial album, Colpa d'Alfredo ('Alfredo's fault') followed in 1980 its title-track was censored from the radio and let loose bitter criticism because it contained some lyrics referring to women considered too explicit at that time. In 1979, he released a second album, Non siamo mica gli americani ('We're not at all the Americans'), which included, ' Albachiara' ('Cleardawn'), one of his biggest hits, a ballad considered emblematic of Rossi's poetic style. Encouraged by his friend Gaetano Curreri (now leading member of Italian rock band Stadio), Rossi released his first EP on 13 June 1977, which included the songs ' Jenny è pazza' (Jenny is crazy) and 'Silvia', and a full-length album in 1978, Ma cosa vuoi che sia una canzone ('What do you think a song is').
