Ennio Morricone dies aged 91

Even people who don't know the name will definitely know his work on Spaghetti Westerns, but he scored over 500 films during his career.

RIP Ennio

Its the music on my calender notification on my phone Hibs 😁 cracking music

"Few Dollars More" my ringtone too 👍😎👍

RIP Ennio Morricone.

My favourite Western he did the music for is "Once upon a time in the west" ...
Love his Theme music for the characters (George Lucas nicked the idea for Star Wars from him 😉)

The description 'genius' is overused - except in EM's case. Wonderful composer who will influence many in the future.
