John Barry R.I.P.


Composer John Barry passed away yesterday at the age of 77 in New York City. Barry was most famous for composing the theme songs for many of the early Bond films as well as winning Oscars for the music from "Out of Africa", "Dances with Wolves" and "The Lion in Winter". Below is a video of Sir George Martin recounting a memory of John Barry for some tabloid show:
