Leo Nichols - Spaghetti Westerns

Spaghetti Westerns

Though his first films were undistinguished, Morricone's arrangement of an American folk song intrigued director and former schoolmate Sergio Leone. Before being associated with Sergio Leone, Morricone composed already some music for less-known western movies such as 'Gunfight at Red Sands'/'Duello nel Texas' (1963). In 1962 Morricone met American folk singer Peter Tevis who is credited with singing the lyrics of Morricone's songs such as "A Gringo Like Me" (from Gunfight at Red Sands) and "Lonesome Billy" (from Guns Don't Argue).
