About this product

Product Information

For rock 'n roll fans, The John Barry Seven were pioneers of the emerging British music scene in the 1950s, while his distinctive pizzicato string arrangements for Adam Faith's pre-Beatles successes like What Do You Want? are part of pop music history. Chart aficionados point to commercial successes like Hit and Miss for TV's Juke Box Jury and The Persuaders . But, for millions of film-goers, Barry's greatest achievements, apart from the memorable James Bond film themes and scores, have been the Oscar-winning scores for Born Free , The Lion in Winter , Out of Africa and Dances with Wolves . In John Barry - The Man With The Midas Touch , this astonishing 50-year career is celebrated in all its musical facets. The authors, each one an authority as well as a fan, draw not only on their own experience, but also on conversations with Barry himself and people who have known him since his formative years as performer, producer, arranger and writer. More than 300 photographs celebrate John Barry's entire career, including many never previously published. The most detailed and complete discography yet compiled is another feature of the book, making it an essential reference for enthusiasts and music historians.

  • A Golden Read

    Alas although updated it doesnt carry all of the accolades garnished following his death. Nevertheless this is a great book for lovers of John Barry. A bit dry at times this is due to the stated fact that the authors were restricted to factual events purely related to the music rather than the man. As one who loves the music, which will live on for ever, this book fills one hole in my collection. The other hole, details of the man, his own loves together with trivia such as that of allowing his penthouse in London to be used for filming of v dramas - that hole remains to be filmed.
