We left John Barry, composer of 007, their top three topics for the James Bond saga

Yesterday ended the meal with the news on the news of the death of John Barry, one of the best known music composers, author of the best scores of the James Bond films. The English author was 77 and died in Oyster Bay (New York) on Sunday from a heart attack. John Barry was born in York in 1933 and had to his credit five Oscars: best soundtrack and song for Born Free (1966), Best Score for The Lion in Winter (1968), and Best Score for Out of Africa ( 1985) and Dances with Wolves (1990).

But Barry will we pay tribute for his compositions for the series of James Bond, his are the soundtracks of 11 movies of the character created by Ian Fleming: From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, Diamonds Are Forever, You Only Live Twice and On Her Majesty's Secret Service. 1.

James Bond Theme from Dr. No (1962) Originally the soundtrack to Monty Norman was charged but the producers did not like the main theme, so I instructed John Barry rewrite, though not in the film is credited. In fact, it's used in every film in the series, although the author remains with Norman.

The item (YouTube) is a classic known to all. 2. Goldfinger, Goldfinger (1964) John Barry composed the main theme music Goldfinger (YouTube), one of the most famous saga starring Sean Connery elegant. Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley put lyrics to the theme that was played by the Welsh diva Shirley Bassey.

The disc ousted the Beatles White Album at No. 1 in the U.S. charts. As a curiosity, Undershakers signed in 1995 a version of which was published in the CD Gijón Goes to the Movies. 3. Diamonds Are Forever Diamonds Are Forever (1971) The soundtrack seventh James Bond movie also had Shirley Bassey singing the theme song (YouTube).

Diamonds Are Forever Diamonds Are Forever, with lyrics by Don Black. Another song apotheosis, extremely sexual and the diva in the fullness of vocal abilities. All these themes by John Barry will be in everyone's memory for long. Rest in peace.
