Singer

Does anyone know the name of the singer? Her voice turns wine into vinegar, milk into sour-cream (before it's left the udder!) and arouses only one wish - that one villain (or Keoma himself) spares a single bullet for the sake of comforting silence. I think I have never really appreciated the virtues of a remote control so far. Everytime the shooting was coming to a close, I draw it faster than Keoma could ever dream to pick a knife or pull the trigger and turned the volume down. But just as I had rearranged my bowels into the proper place, thinking that unabashed horror like this couldn't be topped, a male voice joined in and ... I'm run out of words. Thanks for any information on both of them.

This post made my day, and I couldn't agree more.

haha. although I have written a similar post in this board, the music was better the second time I watched it. And then ok the third time. But the first time I heard it I was appaled!

The soundtrack didn't bother me at all. Keoma is a '70s Italian Western... what the heck are people expecting? Of *COURSE* it's going to be weird!

Oh man, I was laughing outloud reading your post. Classic. Anyway, I think the names of the fabulous singers are on the thread about the music.
But the second time around, the soundtrack is definitely less nausea-inducing...look at it as the comic relief in an all-too-serious movie

The female vocalist is credited only as Sybil; on the sountrack LP, but from some sources I've heard that is actually Susan Duncan Smith herself, which is credited as the lyrics composer (together with Cesare De Natale); She had already collaborated with the De Angelis brothers in another Castellari film starring Nero: "Street Law".

Another little (and quite reliable) birdie also told me that she happens to be the sister of Ian Duncan Smith whom, for the few who remember him, used to be the leader of the Conservative party in the UK few years back.

Don't use that as a motive to hate the Tories further please....

CORRECTION!: Susan only wrote the lyrics, the singer's actual name is Sibyl Amarilli Mostert, a Zimbabwe-born Italian singer, she made a brief attempt at a pop career in the 80s under the name 'Sibilla'.

Here's one of her rare TV appearances: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubYKQOJnNPI

LOL! I was wondering the same thing!
