Wish Key was created by Manlio Cangelli, musician and composer, founder and producer of Scotch also very active at that time. The first and best known song is Wish Key Orient Express. The song was composed by Manlio Cangelli with the text of Lorella Ghilardi (Blue Russell) and was designed to be the new song of Blue Russell.

On the advice and insistence of Severo Lombardoni then patron of Discomagic Records, who would have preferred a version with a male voice, the interpretation of the song was given to DJ Massimo Berti, while the female choirs were made in the study by Blue Russell. The union Cangelli-Ghilardi at that time had also created Penguin invasion of Scotch, Over and over Jerry Moon, New Dream Clay Pedrini and many other songs.

Orient Express was recorded at study Regson Milan in October 1983. The subsequent promotion of the song demanded finding a female figure because Blue Russell was already committed to the promotion of another of his solo album (I wanna fly away, written always from Cangelli and Ghilardi) was responsible for this presence Silvia Merelli, wife of Massimo Berti. The denomination Wish Key was filed by Manlio Cangelli and Lorella Ghilardi at the patent office of Bergamo shortly after the release of Orient Express ten-year.

In 1984 Massimo Berti created and published with the name Wish Key (with permission of Manlio Cangelli, trademark holder) the song Easy way, with the participation of Silvia Merelli as backing vocalist. The following years saw the publication of other works by Berti as Last summer and others, with good sales success and television appearances.
