Born in York, England, Barry was one of the most prolific composers in cinematic history, scoring more than 100 films, sometimes as many as six in a single year, over a career spanning five decades.
Winner of three Oscars, Barry's majestic scores populated many a drama and romance but it's adventure films, mainly his contribution to the James Bond franchise, that he'll most likely be remembered for.
Of the 22 Bond films, Barry scored 11 of them from 1963-1987, including From Russia with Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball and Moonraker.
Barry's last score was for the 2001 film Enigma.
Other notable Barry scores include The Black Hole, Chaplin, Hanover Street, High Road to China, King Kong (1976), Raise the Titanic, Somewhere in Time and Walk About.
