Simply put the godfather of movie soundtracks. The spaghetti westerns of the 3 Sergios, European thrillers, giallo movies, Hollywood blockbusters. He did it all. A true legend.

I sometimes wonder if the giallo genre might not be thought of quite so fondly were it not for Ennio's sweeping, heart-breaking scores. Those are the scores I know him for best, but also his Chi Mai, used (among other things) for the theme to the BBC's 'The Life and Times of David Lloyd George'. Released as a single, it reached number 2 in the charts.
I know what I'll be listening to for the next few days.
RIP.

Absolute Legend, he scored some of the best movie themes ever, Spaghetti Western trilogy & The Thing (1982) being my favourites.
He leaves behind a plethora of work for us fans to enjoy.
R.i.p sir & thank you for the music.

One of a kind - could take the most throwaway film ever, and make it engaging with an engrossing score. Too many to choose from, far too many. And with all the respect to Nino Rota, Morricone is the king of Italian cinematic composers.
