This guy had a huge hit; a remake of Steve Miller's "Fly Like An Eagle" called "Vola Come un Clandestino"

Solid Gold!

Did they lose the port engine on takeoff? Seems like an asymmmetric thrust issue which led to unrecoverable roll.

Good question

Serious roll

Maybe it lost power due to failure?

Yeah, seems like the left engine lost thrust at the worst possible moment.
