A vocalist of extraordinary talent, Dell’Orso used her Soprano voice with a
three octave range to provide haunting, mostly wordless vocals to a number of
Spaghetti Westerns. A frequent collaborator of Ennio Morricone, she contributed
to Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966),
Fistful of Dynamite aka Duck you Sucker (1971). She also contributed vocals
for other composers in such memorable Spaghetti Western scores as His Name was
King (which was also heard in Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained (2012) and
the Grand Duel (1972). Outside the Spaghetti Western genre, Dell’Orso has lent
her talents to films such as Dario Argento’s The Bird with the Crystal
Plumage (1970) and Mario Bava’s Danger: Diabolik (1968).
Year of Induction: 2019
Hey guys. Sorry for the delay. We will start voting for this year’s inductee’s later in the month. Here is the bio for last year’s inductees. I still have to do one more. I changed it up for the wanted poster this year hope yall like it.
I’m surprised Claudio Undari (better known as Robert Hundar) isn’t in the Hall of Fame as a supporting actor. He’s always been a good henchman and bad guy, and even made pretty good Anti-Heroes. Has he ever been considered for nomination? If not, I’d like to nominate him as long as nominations are still open.
From what I remember. He narrowly missed getting inducted for a couple of years. There’s actually quite a few guys that are still not in that are surprisingly not in yet. But that’s why I only like to induct two people per year, so it keeps on going.
Sure Seb I’ll accept that as a nomination for this year’s vote. I think she was another one who was on the ballot in previous years but fell short in the voting.
I would vote for her for the incredible singing on the The Big Gundown soundtrack’s title song. I sounds a bit like an anticipation of the early Heavy Metal era in the beginning of 1970’s with Deep Purple and Uriah Heep whose lead (male) singers were of a similar caliber.
Franco De Gemini
September 10, 2018 (Ferrara, Italy) - July 20, 2013 (Rome)
He is best known for his haunting and iconic harmonica playing on the filmscore of
Once Upon a Time in the West (1968). De Gemini’s contributions can be heard
on as many as 800 film scores, including many Spaghetti Westerns, collarborating
with a who’s who of film composers. These films include The Good, the Bad and the
Ugly (1966), The Grand Duel (1972), a Bullet for the President aka The Price of
Power (1969), They Call Me Trinity (1970), and a Fistful of Dollars (1964). Outside
of the Spaghetti Western genre, he also made musical contributions to Lone Wolf
McQuade (1983), and West Side Story (1961). He released several albums, founded
his own successful and long running record label, Beat Records, and released a
memoir in 2006.
3. Henry Fonda who is a brilliant leading actor in both Once Upon A Time In The West and in My Name Is Nobody (number 2 and 5 respectively on my top SW Top 40).
5. Christy (Maria Cristina Brancucci) just because I love the somewhat pioneering heavy metal song performance in “Run, Man Run” (composed by Morricone) from The Big Gundown (number 6 on my SW Top 40).
But I nevertheless do like Claudio Undari in Ramon The Mexican (number 17 on my SW Top 40) and A Hole In The Forehead/A Hole Between The Eyes (number 33 on my SW Top 40).
And for starters,
