John
Barry Prendergast, OBE (/ˈbæri/;
3 November 1933 – 30 January 2011) was an English composer and conductor of
film music. He composed the scores for 11 of the James
Bond films between 1963 and 1987, and
also arranged and performed the "James Bond Theme"
to the first film in the series, 1962's Dr. No.
He wrote the Grammy and Academy Award-winning scores to the films Dances
with Wolves and Out
of Africa, as well as the theme for the British
television cult series The Persuaders!,
in a career spanning over 50 years. In 1999, he was appointed OBE at Buckingham Palace for services to music.
Born in York, Barry
spent his early years working in cinemas owned by his father. During his national service with the British Army in Cyprus, Barry began performing as a
musician after learning to play the trumpet. Upon completing his national
service, he formed his own band in 1957, The
John Barry Seven. He later developed an interest in composing and
arranging music, making his début for television in 1958. He
came to the notice of the makers of the first James Bond film Dr. No,
who were dissatisfied with a theme for James Bond given to them by Monty
Norman. This started a successful association
between Barry and Eon Productions which lasted for 25 years.
