Today’s song of the day comes to us from the classic score that Ennio Morricone wrote for Sergio Leone’s The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly! When we started our tribute to Morricone, there was no doubt that we would eventually include at least a few songs from this film’s soundtrack. Today, we share The Ecstasy of Gold, which plays in the background of one of the greatest scenes in the history of cinema. It’s hard to listen to this without thinking about Eli Wallach (as Tuco) joyfully running through that cemetery.
Here is The Ecstasy of Gold:
