The brothers Guido De Angelis (1944) and Maurizio De Angelis (1947) are two Italian composers and musicians; their musical career started in 1963, where, after successfully publishing an LP, they became arrangers for RCA Italiana. Their success led to many more albums in which they composed, arranged, and sang the music.
The De Angelis brothers were among the most prolific Italian
musicians of the 1970s. In fact, they were forced to use different names
for many of their projects to avoid over-saturating the market. One of
these was Oliver Onions, which eventually became the name they were mostly identified with. Although they released many standalone albums, it is for their
soundtrack work for which the De Angelis brothers are best known. Out of
their many scores, which includes the main theme for the 1983 Italian
cult movie Yor, the Hunter from the Future, undoubtedly the most famous
and popular are those composed for the Terence Hill and Bud Spencer comedies. Their song "Dune Buggy" for the film Watch Out, We're Mad reached the top of the charts in Europe.
They are also known for their work on animated series, having composed original songs for Italian-dubbed anime (such as Doraemon, Ashita no Joe and Galaxy Express 999) and European series (such as Around the World with Willy Fog). They made music also for title song of Sandokan serie, which was based on the novel E. Salgari.
