Composer John Barry, who won five Oscars for his film work but was best known for his contributions to a dozen James Bond movies, has died. He was 77.
Barry died in New York on Sunday, his family said.
The English-born composer won two Oscars, for the score and the song, for “Born Free” in 1966, and he earned single statuettes for “The Lion in Winter” (1968), “Out of Africa” (1985) and “Dances with Wolves” (1990).
He was also nominated for his scores for “Mary, Queen of Scots” in 1971 and “Chaplin” in 1992.
Selections from John Barry’s scores here, including themes from his Oscar-winning or nominated scores for Out Of Africa and Chaplin.
Rest in peace, sir.
