007's musical maestro

Sadly, we lost another legendary musical figure today. John Barry, most famous for contributing to the iconic "James Bond" themes and soundtracks, passed away at the age of 77.

It is truly impossible to encapsulate his massive talent and longstanding career into a short space. Instead, here is a mini tribute to the man who gave 007 some musicality. These are my four favorite John Barry, James Bond themes.

"Diamonds Are Forever" - Shirley Bassey



"The Man With The Golden Gun" - Lulu



"A View To A Kill" - Duran Duran



"The Living Daylights" - a-ha



Mr. Barry, we salute you!
