Often collaborating with lyricist Bellotte, Moroder scored a number of hits in his own name including Son Of My Father in 1972 and From Here to Eternity in 1977, and in the following year releasing Chase in 1978, the theme from the film Midnight Express. All were hits in the UK. The full movie score for Midnight Express won him his first Academy Award for best film score in 1978. In 1979 Moroder released his album E=MC². Text on the album's cover stated that it was the first electronic live-to-digital album. He also released three albums between 1977-1979 under the name Munich Machine. In 1984, Moroder worked with Philip Oakey, frontman of the popular synthpop group, The Human League, to make the album Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder; they scored a UK singles chart hit with Together in Electric Dreams, titlescore track to the movie of the same name. In 1986, Moroder collaborated with his protege Harold Faltermeyer (of Axel F. fame) and lyricist Tom Whitlock to create the score for the popular film Top Gun (1986), with the most noteworthy hit being the Berlin classic, Take My Breath Away, which went on to become a huge hit for the group. Chase was also used as an entrance theme for wrestling's (then) popular heel group The Midnight Express. In 1987, Moroder produced Falco's song Body Next to Body. On September 20, 2004 Moroder was honored at the Dance Music Hall of Fame ceremony, held in New York, when he was inducted for his many outstanding achievements and contributions as producer. In 2005, he was given the title of Commendatore by the then President of the Italian Republic, Carlo Azeglio Ciampi. (*)
