Composer John Barry has died.

Wow, it's so horrible to write those words :(

Like many here I'm sure, I fell in love with Barry's music for The Black Hole and it has since remained my favourite score written by him and probably one of my top 5 favourite scores ever.

The man invented spy music with his work on the 007 movies and has inspired countless musicians and composers and has also enriched the lives of those who loved his work.

An incredibly talented man and whose death deeply saddens me.

RIP John, thank you for the music, your legacy will live on.
