    Hello Everybody,

    Spaghetti westerns will never be the same
    without him. Italy's Ennio Morricone, RIP.

    Ennio Morricone, the Italian composer whose haunting scores to
    Spaghetti Westerns like "A Fistful of Dollars" and "The Good, the
    Bad and the Ugly" helped define a cinematic era, has died. He was
    91.

    Morricone had broken his femur some days ago and died during the
    night in a clinic in Rome, Italian news agency ANSA said on Monday.

    Born in Rome in 1928, Morricone wrote scores for some 400 films but
    his name was most closely linked with the director Sergio Leone, with
    whom he worked on the now-classic Spaghetti Westerns as well as "Once
    Upon a Time in America".
