BARRY DEAD
Pop icon composer Barry is dead. He passed away on Sunday in New York, reportedly from a heart attack.
Barry was best known for his work on the James Bond films — he scored 11 films including Goldfinger and You Only Live Twice — and his atmospheric scores are credited with giving 007 much of his smooth persona.
"I think James Bond would have been far less cool without John Barry holding his hand," said David Arnold, his successor as the 007 score composer, who described Barry's death as a "profound loss".
