I have not been the biggest John Barry fan over the years, but I have come to enjoy and respect a lot more of his work recently especially as I have listened to a lot of his Bond scores.

I always love to hear a composer talk about their craft and hear their perspective and thanks to youtube I found a John Barry interview where he talks a little bit about how he goes about scoring a film and a little bit about a current (well when it was taped it was current) project, Chaplin.

Thanks for the film links on Barry. Never knew those were on youtube. Provide an interesting perspective on how Barry sees music and composing.

gee thanks Nate for these videos. I really enjoyed the Licence to Thrill documentary - wasn't aware of it being on YouTube- very interesting! Its not that often one can take a peek into the mind of a composer as great as John Barry, What a very approachable person he comes across as & I enjoyed that his lovely classical album, The Beyondness of Things, was featured as welll.

You did a fine job on this composer forum! I plan to check out more of my favorites as soon as I find some spare time.

To ronankan: I req. the Peggy Sue...st. to be added here on SST, and glad they did Smile

I'm a huge fan of John Barry and his music.
I can say that I almost have all his work on
vinyl & c.d. (about 99 %)

In okt. I'll be going to a concert of him, here in Belgium, look forward to it Smile
