John Barry

Hi all just wanted to ask you guys and gals your opions on whats you fav score Mr John Barry (R.I.P) did. Mine is a 3 way split between On Her Majesty’s Secret Service best ever bond score, The Deep got a wicked donna summer track on this gem and Ipcress File cant beat a bit of Harry Palmer (Michael Caine) this score has been sampled a lot. See Ya James PS Did anyone ever get to see this man doing a live concert by any chance.

of course The game of Death and james bond

I really enjoyed The Black Hole.
Up until very recently, it wasn’t widely available. It was only released on vinyl.
But now it’s on iTunes! 😀

best bond score: on her majesty’s secret service
honourable mentions: you only live twice, diamonds are forever, moonraker, the living daylights

best non-bond score: dances with wolves
honourable mentions: walkabout, the black hole, enigma, out of africa, born free, somewhere in time

also, the persuaders theme is one of my favorite barry compositions

My favourite(s) John Barry:

Scores: The Lion in Winter, Dances With Wolves
Bond Scores: You Only Live Twice, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
Full Romantic Scores: Until September, Somewhere in Time

The suite from Indecent Proposal is sweet. The score from The Scarlet Letter. Dance With Wolves blows my mind and The Beyondness of Things is just beaut. Somewhere in Time is lush too – I could go on forever and I am probably forgetting more awesomenesses!
