Tune into your source for all things soundtrack, Morricone Youth, on East Village Radio this Saturday from 10 p.m. to midnight ET, for Morricone Youth's third annual tribute to the namesake of the show, Ennio Morricone.
Considered as one of the most influential film composers of all time, composing for over 500 films and selling over 40 million records worldwide, Morricone wrote the film scores to such classics as Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Westerns including "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" (1966), John Carpenter's remake of "The Thing" (1982), Brian De Palma's "The Untouchables" (1987) and Guiseppe Tornarore's "Cinema Paradiso" (1988). Il Maestro turns 81 on Tuesday and doesn't appear to be easing up on his workload purportedly turning down composing Quentin Tarantino's most recent film "Inglorious Bastards" to focus on two more for Tornatore, "Baaria" and "Leningrad." Host Devon E. Levins will be dedicating an entire two hours to his music in his honor.
