Love Theme from The Flight of the Phoenix, The Brass Ring (1966)
The Brass Ring, a group of NYC studio musicians led by saxophonist and arranger Phil Bodner, turned a classic Italian song into The Now Sound (cigarette commercial music) popular in the 1960s. Senza fine (the original version) was written by Italian singer-songwriter Gino Paoli and first recorded in 1961 by Ornella Vanoni. The film version was recorded by Connie Francis, and retitled The Phoenix Love Theme.
