Spaghetti Western Trivia - Lee Van Cleef for a few songs more

Variety

September 6, 1972

 



Lee Van Cleef spent his free weekend from current fantasy action western “Gundown at High Noon” for a quick return visit to the Venice Fest, accompanied by producers Henry Chorscicki and Ettore Rosboch. This actor has parlayed his hobby as a ballad singer into a first LP for the Oak label to be released next month. Ballads include new tunes by Marty Robbins, a Johnny Cash item and two written for Van Cleef – “Gunfighter at Crego Side” and “Lincoln County War.” Next May, Van Cleef appears in Dino De Laurenttis’ “Concert in B Tough” from a script  by Luciano Vincenzoni.   

 

“Gundown at High Noon” became “The Grand Duel” and “Concert in B Tough” turned into "Three Tough Guys" with Isaac Hayes & Lino Ventura
