So long, Mr. Barry

Legendary film composer John Barry passes away at age 77. I’m a huge Bond fan and his music is simply iconic orchestral pop.

Here is the “007 Theme”, not to be confused with “The James Bond Theme”, is an adventure theme composed by John Barry in 1963 for the Bond film, “From Russia with Love”, It became a secondary theme for the Bond films, being used in quite a few Bond movies, primarily during action scenes. If you like, here is Barry (circa 2001) conducting both “Goldfinger” and “The James Bond Theme.”
