RIP Mr John Barry

The man with the golden music
[www.guardian.co.uk]

The very first Song on random on my iTunes was "On Her Magesty's Secret Service" - he has officially haunted my Mac so will dedicated the first part of the day to his James Bond tune legacy!

Already getting goosebumps!

That man had a hell of an ear for melody. "Midnight Cowboy" is one of the greatest movie themes ever composed.

The descending opening string line of "You Only Live Twice" kicks me in the throat every time I hear it.
Can't say the pop song grafted on after is as good as their promise or anything else he did (Zulu!) but those notes are genius.

Amen brothers... I saw 'You Only Live Twice' in 68 age 7 and and was overcome with the melody and nacy's voice. The power of the opening to Gioldfinger... Born Free?? For me it kinda makes Hans Zimmer pale into insignificance. I'm an old school fuddy duddy and I don't care.

John Barry was my John Williams until Star Wars came along in 77. My 2 favorite film composers (and Danny Elfman)
