Edda Dell'Orso - Topic

Edda Dell'Orso is an Italian singer known for her collaboration with composer Ennio Morricone, for whom she provided wordless vocals to a large number of his film scores. A soprano with a three-octave range, Dell'Orso also provided vocals to scores of other Italian composers such as Bruno Nicolai, Piero Piccioni, Luis Bacalov and Roberto Pregadio. She was born in Genoa.
In Morricone's film scores of the original Spaghetti Westerns directed by Sergio Leone, her dramatic voice was deployed as an instrument for the first time and to revolutionary effect, such as in A Fistful of Dollars, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West.
In the 1980s, she was the voice behind the successful Italo Disco act Bianca Neve, fronted by Anne Dattner.
Dell'Orso collaborated with Italian composer Alex Puddu on the albums Registrazioni al Buio, In the Eye Of The Cat, The Mark of the Devil and The Gambler.
