Composer John Barry died yesterday (January, 30) of a heart attack.


For those that do not have an idea of who is him, he was the composer for 11 of 14 James Bond films. He marked a musical style for the James Bond film series. He also composed many other great scores for other films like: Out of Africa, Dances with Wolves, Midnight Cowboy, and others.



If you have never heard his scores, you can take a look at the youtube videos I posted:

Anyone here like any of the music he composed in all his years of career?

This is just as sad as if John Williams had passed away. Though he may be gone, the James Bond theme will live on forever!

Good night, sweet prince!
My little brother is going to be sad. He loves James Bond.

I wonder how is going to be the sound of the new generations of film composers in future years.
