Biography

English composer & conductor of film music. Inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1998.
Born: November 3, 1933, York, Yorkshire, United Kingdom.
Died: January 30, 2011, Oyster Bay, New York, USA.
Remarkably, Barry is most associated in the public mind with a tune he did not in fact write but merely arranged, namely the James Bond Theme, which was credited as from the pen of Monty Norman. He did enjoy a long association with the Bond franchise, composing the scores for 11 films between 1963 and 1987. He also composed countless themes and scores for other films and TV shows. Barry was married 4 times. He was Jane Birkin's first husband (and she was his second wife); they were married between 1965 and 1968.
