A Great Loss

*lights come up one at a time, revealing a lone being standing on stage, slowly he raises his head until it is in perfect position, his eyes open, looks around, then stares straight at the audience, he takes a few slow deep breathes, opens his mouth, and says...*
I received word earlier this week that famed film score composer, John Barry (famous for the James Bond theme mostly), died Sunday.
He was a great film score composer, and he wrote a lot of Academy worthy scores; like Born Free, The Lion in Winter, Somewhere in Time (love this one), Raise the Titanic, Out of Africa, The Living Daylights (his best James Bond score), Chaplin and Dances with Wolves (his greatest achievement).
I had actually bought the Dances with Wolves soundtrack, half a month before he died. It's the same thing when Michael Jackson died; I bought the Thriller 25 album ONE MONTH before his death. I don't know about you, but I think there's something about me that has an affect on people.
Anyway, if you want to know more about John Barry, go here: http://www.filmtracks.com/composers/barry.shtml
The Film Score community has lost one of it's greats, but he will always be remembered for the legacy he established and all the great music he left for us. John Barry, was 77.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Barry. (1933-2011)
