John Barry's compositions are forever

Nancy Sinatra's rendering of that song made you shut yourself in a dark room and lose yourself in the trails of menace and sentiments. That was the magic of music from James Bond films. Thanks to John Barry, the composer of those Bond songs.
John Barry, died at the age of 77 yesterday etching in time a score that echoes diamonds are forever. Though it was Monty Norman who composed the Original bond themes, the one that was used in main and end titles. Barry, was the one who arranged it, and later gave it all kinds of variations one could imagine.
-- just for knowledge.. not getting rhythm today.. will write more tomorrow.
