Italian composer Ennio Morricone has died in Rome. He was 91.
He scored more than 500 film soundtracks, including a number of “spaghetti Westerns” for director Sergio Leone such as “A Fistful of Dollars” (1964), “For a Few Dollars More” (1965) and “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” (1966).
In 1999, Morricone composed music for “The Legend of 1900,” including “Lost Boys Calling.” Roger Waters provided lyrics for the song and recorded it with guitar work by Eddie Van Halen.
Waters’s recording is included on the film soundtrack, and a demo version appears on his 2002 collection “Flickering Flame: The Solo Years Volume 1.”
Morricone succumbed to complications following a fall and broken leg he suffered last week.
