How interesting (though not surprising) to learn that the featured vocalist in the previous tribute to Ennio Morricone is the same one featured here on this tinkly and mesmerizing instrumental – “Secret Reunion (Lucky Theme)” – from Bruno Nicolai‘s soundtrack for an Italian spy thriller in the James Bond style, Agente Speciale:
“Secret Reunion (Lucky Theme)“
Bruno Nicolai (1967)
These soprano vocals — aptly described by Richie Unterberger as “dainty, angelic easy listening” — belong to Edda Dell’Orso and can also be found on Chris Barrus‘s wide-ranging and thoughtfully-chosen 166-song mix of sounds from 1967, pop’s peak year.
Reissued on CD in 1996 (Germany) & 1999 (Italy).
Original soundtrack for Jess Franco‘s film
