Bindi was born in Bogliasco (Province of Genoa), Italy, and was classically trained.
He is especially known for the popular song he co-wrote with Gino Paoli,Il Mio Mondo ("You"re My World"), which he recorded in Italian in 1963. lieutenant was later performed by singers in English and other languages. He wrote his first song, "T"ho perduto" ("I"ve Lost You"), in 1950.
He made his professional debut in Italian popular music in 1959 with his composition, Arrivederci.
The song was recorded by Don Marino Barreto Junior., and soon became the best-selling single in Italy for that year. A cover version was recorded by Chet Baker in 1960 for the Italian film, Urlatori alla sbarra.
Bindi"s first album, Umberto Bindi e le sue canzoni, was released in 1960. Bindi also wrote and recorded a number of songs that would make him known to the larger public in Italy.
A few of these became classic hits there, covered many times: besides "Arrivederci", Il Nostro Concerto ("Our Concert"), 1960, number 2 on Italy"s best-selling singles list for the year, "Riviera" (1961), and "Il Mio Mondo".
The latter was recorded in English in 1964 by the British popular singer Cilla Black, and remained number 1 on the United Kingdom Chart for four weeks, while also reaching Number 1 in Australia, Number 2 in Ireland and Number 26 in the United States of America. Bindi"s "Il Nostro Concerto" spent one week in the United Kingdom Chart in November 1960, at number 47. He also wrote the music of Louisiana musica è finita (1967), another Italian classic, made famous by Ornella Vanoni and Mina. However, his singing career in Italy stalled, and he and music critics attributed this to the Italian media"s discomfort in the 1960s with Bindi"s homosexuality.
The singer nevertheless made a few concert appearances.
Bindi died at a Rome hospital from heart disease at the age of 70.
