In the early 1960's, Ennio Morricone did the musical arrangements for American folk singer Peter Tevis. Among their collaborations was the old Woody Guthrie song "Pastures of Plenty" which Morricone later turned into the theme for "Fistful of Dollars". Also included here is another Morricone/Tevis song "Notte Infinita". You can hear how both of these songs defined what would later become the "spaghetti western" sound. Sadly, Peter Tevis passed away in 2006, nearly losing his singing voice in the preceding years.

WOW! Huge Morricone/Spaghetti Western fan but I've never heard this before - absolutely amazing and thanks for the upload. Do u know if Notte Infinita was ever used for a movie - it would be fantastic if it was!

This song--even with the lyrics--is eerily appropriate for The Man With No Name in "Fistful". He comes with the dust, to wreak havoc and bring the gangs to a chaotic end...and then he's gone...with the wind.

Love Morricone for film scores but give me Woody's authenticity or Seeger's directness anytime or even Odetta's unsurpassed singing

@azowipe1 Exactly what I thought! I only stumbled upon this by chance... have you also heard the song that goes with 'Few Dollars More' by Maurizio Graf (I think) about ' cursed the day that ever I was born' etc. It's odd to hear it to start with but it has grown on me. It's on youtube somewhere

I've waited years to hear this in full, after just a brief extract on a BBC documentary on Morricone. Thanks very much for sharing it. Not only does it show the genesis of the Fistful of Dollars theme, it also confirms that the choral chant in that movie is "With the wind!" rather than (as I'd thought for about 30 years) "We can win!"
