The music for The NeverEnding Story was composed by Klaus Doldinger & Giorgio Moroder. There are two soundtracks for the NeverEnding Story. Klaus Doldinger did the German soundtrack and Giorgio Moroder did the American release with the help of Limahl, lead singer of Kajagoogoo, who sang the opening titles for the American NeverEnding Story movie and album.

Doldinger was born in Berlin, and entered a Düsseldorf conservatory in 1947, graduating in 1957. In his student years, Doldinger gained professional performing experience, starting in 1953 in the German Dixieland band The Feetwarmers, and recording with them in 1955. Later that year he founded Oscar's Trio, modeled on Oscar Peterson's work. Doldinger is perhaps best known for his film scores to the acclaimed German U-Boat film Das Boot (1981) and later The NeverEnding Story (1984).

Giorgio (Hansjoerg) Moroder (on record sleeves often only Giorgio) (born on April 26, 1940 in Urtijëi (Ortisei), Italy)[1] is a three-time Oscar-winning and three-time Grammy Award-winning Italian record producer, songwriter and performer. His work with synthesizers during the 1970s and 1980s had a significant influence on new wave, house, techno and electronic music in general.[2] Particularly well known for his work with Donna Summer during the era of disco (including "I Feel Love" and Love to Love You Baby), Moroder is the founder of the former Musicland Studios in Munich, which was used as a recording studio for artists including Electric Light Orchestra, Led Zeppelin, Queen and Elton John. He also founded his own record label the Oasis Records which later became a subdivision of Casablanca Records.

In addition to his work with Donna Summer, Moroder also produced a number of electronic disco hits for The Three Degrees, two albums for Sparks, and a score of songs for a variety of others including Irene Cara, Madleen Kane, Melissa Manchester, Blondie, Japan, and France Joli. Also he composed the songs and/or music to many movies.
