Did Spaghetti western icons do disco?

Yes, one of them did, Pedro Maria Sanchez. This Spanish actor who looked a bit like a mating between Giuliano Gemma and John Phillip Law starred in quite a number of Italian westerns that were shot in Andalucia, like "Cjamango" ( 1967), "Non aspettare Django Spara!/ Don't wait Django, Shoot!" (1968) and "La Morte Non Canta I Dollari / Death Does Not Count The Dollars" ( 1967). So now you know! The disco record was "Un Dia Mas", from the "Encuentro" album made in 1979, a very good sumptously orchestrated song. Pedro Maria has powerful voice so check him out.

C'era una volta il West (1968) directed by Sergio Leone
starring Claudia Cardinale. This Italian movie star did a disco song called 'Sun...I love you' that came out on Ibach France

Claudia also did "Love Affair", also out by Ibach, and covered by Paradise Birds in the same year of 1977.

This topic reminds me of a song from late 1976 or so called 'Tennessee Special' by Red Hurley. The track is done up like a spaghetti western song but with a definite disco backdrop. It's on one of my old disco compilations. I wonder how popular the song was? Where's Marky?

The Claudia Cardinale stuff is cool, thinking of western disco i also remember one of my first records "Once Upon A Time" by Black Light Orchestra. But then that's a different story :icon_redface:
