James Bond Composer John Barry Dies at Age 77

Oscar-Winning Composer John Barry has died of a heart attack at age 77. He was perhaps best known for his arrangement of Monty Norman’s James Bond theme, which led to him scoring 11 Bond films including Goldfinger and Diamonds are Forever . But Barry was a versatile and talented composer beyond the Bond films. His memorable scores ranged from quirky jazz ( The Knack…and How to Get It ) to impressive regional work ( Midnight Cowboy , Walkabout ) to even sweat-drenched, neo-noir saxophone ( Body Heat ). For further testament to his talent, one needs only to look to his music for a mostly-forgotten 1965 film that has since been used in over half a dozen movies, from CGI -animated kid’s fare to a film by the Coen Brothers.
