Morricone marks 60 years as Hollywood’s go-to music man

ROME (AP) — Oscar-winning composer Ennio Morricone is back on his feet after canceling a string of concerts because of two collapsed vertebrae that raised questions about the continued prodigious output of the 87-year-old music legend.
Morricone, whose memorable scores to "The Mission," "Cinema Paradiso" and other films have made him one of Hollywood's most sought-after composers, says he's doing fine now and is ready to get back on tour to mark his 60 years in the industry.
