Composer John Barry wrote the score for eleven James Bond films, transforming the music into one of the most iconic pieces of film music ever written. Barry died Sunday of a heart attack. Barry’s mother was a classical pianist and his father owned several movie theaters. “I never sat down at any given moment and said, ‘this is what i want to be.’ It just kind of grew out of my environment in the cinema and taking music lessons and loving music,” Barry told the BBC.
