John Barry (1933-2011)

Very sad news about the passing of British composer John Barry, at age 77. Barry gave a distinctive sound to many film scores and stood out as one of the country's finest composers. Scoring 11 of the Bond films - Barry gave a quintessential sound to the series, known to millions. As well as the Bond series Barry also scored some other magnificent films - Born Free, Zulu, Out of Africa and many others. Listening back to these tracks, really shows us we've lost a true genius. RIP John Barry.

We've taken a look at five of our favourites piece of his:

A View To A Kill - Wine With Stacey

Zulu

Chaplin

Born Free

And the quintessential Bond track...
