John Barry - The Man With The Midas Touch
This group was originally formed by men and women
who admire and recognize the works of noted composer, John Barry.
We are varied with regard to geographical location, age, gender,
background and ethnic heritage. We are interested in the study and
collection of an informed library of Mr. Barry's compositions, as
well as commentary on his film scores; where films may be screened;
and of course, notations on his life as a great composer. The group
welcomes all who inquire, with the idea that our primary purpose
is to highlight the works and genius of John Barry.
Our directory is based on current and voluntary information from
persons who regularly visit us through the website or e-mail. It
has been developed to build friendship and to increase dialogue
among those who hold Mr. Barry's music in high esteem.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Geoff, Alan and
Ruud for their ideas and efforts in designing this directory. If
you would like to add your own information, please feel free to
do so by completing as much of the following information as possible
in the form below.
Please note, in ALL cases we mean John Barry
music.

Barry was in his top creative mode in the
60s and 70s. I especially like the period between 1976-79, when he did his
most impressive "heavy" scores. I almost gave up my interest in Barry after
"Playing by Heart"…went downhill from there. But for Barry admirers, we
can always look back at fantastic music but might have little (or nothing)
to look forward to. |

(thank you, Rykodisc!) but I also adore Moonraker; Body Heat; A View to
a Kill; Raise the Titanic; and all the 007 albums. John Barry, you are the
best! |

Americans is an excellent Jazzy John Barry
composition yet like most of Mr. Barry's music it's not released on CD.
Perhaps the music copyright laws were not what are today, in the '60s or
70's. It is a shame |

I'd like this message reach John Barry,
because it's very interesting:
I love watching films. So I see movies very frequently, since I was a boy.
The musics always touched me more than the others. And everybody ever know
I was the expert in movie music.
One day I saw King Kong and one of the songs, played by piano, atracted
me. I got it in a cassete tape and listened hundreds of times. I couldn't
know the reason. Then I watch Somewhere in time. I was puzzled. The song
sent me to infinite. The same strange and strong thing happened again when
I watched Body Heat and Somewhere in Time.
My wife already knows how I loved that songs. So, intending to give me a
birthday gift, she went to the internet and looks for them. When I arrive
home she told me a strange thing. The 4 songs I like most was of the same
author: John Barry. I almost fainted.
That day on I am a John Barry fan. And now I know that a lot of songs I
love, were from the same source.
One day I intend to meet him and hug him. I'll say thanks for putting his
heart in the songs. This way we can know the deeper feelings inside our
hearts and everybody can be a better person. |

Every thing that John ever wrote. His music

he touched me with his compositions |
| Additional comments |
As a musician, I never found the sort of
music that I could relate to until I heard Hit and Miss, Walk dont Run and
other hits of his in the 60's. This was the sound that I really wanted to
hear and from that start, I became an avid follower of his music, right
up to the present day. He is to me the definitive artist filling my world
with his music. I am really pissed off with his passing. |

| Additional comments |
Rachmaninoff, Gershwin and Rodrigo were
the best 20th century composers. Barry composed tributes to all of them:
Somewhere in Time (Rachmaninoff; The Cotton Club (Gershwin); and the Deadfall
guitar concerto (Rodrigo). JB's exposition on themes of danger (upside-down,
boogie-woogie for the full orchestra!), sexuality & dignity are the
defining pieces for those qualities. "The James Bond Theme" was
the most influential instrumental composition of the 20th century, an influence
on everything that followed -- perhaps the salvation of orchestral composition
for 4 decades? As a composer, JB's weakest area simply has to be the composition
of melody (this is no Harry Warren, no Hoagy Carmichael). But his intensity
as a conductor and brilliance as an arranger more than compensate -- his
own baton is required to carry his messages' trademark imagery. |

All of JB's albums are excellent, even "Howard
the Duck," which is far superior to the film itself. His early "pre-film"
stuff is just as brilliant as his cinematic classics and it's easier for
me to say that I enjoy his "lest-than-best" stuff as well, which
would be something like "The Whisperers" or "The Legend of
the Lone Ranger." |
| Additional comments |
I'm just grateful that I have most of his
albums which have been released and have been honored to meet him for a
fleeting few seconds to say "Thank You" for the pleasure his music
has given me. The Royal Albert Hall "gig" in 1998 was just the
best and a bonus to see him again in 1999 was the "icing on the cake!"

John Barry's music touches your heart like
no other. His movie soundtracks breathe life and real emotion into whatever
you're watching. His music alone can make an average movie excellent. It
is no wonder that this gifted man has won the numerous awards that he has.
JB's music will forever be my favorite (don't you just love this guy?) Thank
you, John Barry!!!! |

I first heard JB's brilliance in Octopussy.
I had no idea who he was, nor did I know why I connected to that music in
such a way. I actually made a trip to a record store just to buy the Rita
Coolidge 45 of "All Time High." Years later, I became interested
in film scoring. At the time, the score to Somewhere in Time had my full
attention. It wasn't until a little later that I realized JB's touch was
what had me drawn to the Octopussy music so many years before. I can honestly
say that John Barry single-handedly birthed an interest in film scoring
for me. It is what I hope to ultimately do. Thanks for this website. |

To me, John Barry is a kind of musical "gnostic,"
whose sensibility to the theme of loss encompasses a profound spirituality
that is universal; a unique fusion of spirit and emotion. His music is simply
astonishing--one of the greatest composers of all time. |

I am a landscape painter who paints semi-abstract
landscapes from sketches and memory while listening to music. I listen to
a lot of John Barry's music while painting. I am trying to make contact
with John, who might be interested in seeing how his music compositions
effect my painting compositions. Does anyone know if he has an agent where
I can send some images? |

I had the good fortune of working on the
USA James Bond Tenth Anniversary album and was able to speak with JB (our
names appear on the same line on the back cover!) I was just a kid and it
was a great experience-- I'll never forget it. Also, I don't feel badly
now to find that my suggestion to "play around" with the track
to "Journey to Blofeld's Hideway" was not unique (c.f., latest
OHMSS recording). |

I have been through a lot in my life but
who hasn't. His music & genious has lifted me & i am sure millions more

the legend that is JOHN BARRY. |

My all time favorite piece of John Barry
music is definitely from King Kong when they are going through the fog to
the island. What a shame that it didn't make it on the soundtrack as I feel
his island theme is so massive and grand. |
| Additional comments |
He is a strong influence on me as a composer
myself and definitely fuels my pursuit of film scoring. Sometimes I feel
like I catch some musical vibes living in Long Island... |

John Barry is definitely one of the best

to him almost everyday. One thing I would love is someday an album is released
with the complete score to "Mary Queen of Scots". Keep up the great work
John Barry! |

| Additional comments |
I just discovered this site, and I was always
troubled, wondering if Mr. Barry received the recognition he so assuredly
deserves. I have been a devoted fan since 1962. His music has seen me through
both good and difficult times, with some of the most romantic and emotional
music, that, to me, is unsurpassed in symphonic and orchestral composition.
Thank you, Mr. Barry for a lifetime of musical wonder and magic. |

John Barry is next to John Williams the
super god of film music. There is no comparison to a John Barry soundtrack
in terms of emotional precision and impact. And he has the most personal
and individual style of music I know. Yet his musical themes are always
new and surprisingly original. The soundtrack of Dances With Wolves still
has such a great effect on me. Sometimes I just need to listen to it in
order to fill up my batteries. So, thanks John Barry for your great |

But I love most of the sixties and mid-seventies compositions like Boom, The Ipcress File, The Quiller Memorandum, Deadfall or The Tamarind Seed. In the 80ies John Barry composed such beautiful scores like Body Heat, Frances or Out of Africa.Great!
Additional: John Barry is the best! Unfortunately he has never composed for a movie since Enigma in 2000.
For me John Barry remains the best composer with unforgettable themes and melodies. Thank you Mr. Barry for wonderful years with your wonderful music |

I was fortunate enough to meet JB and was
looked after by his wife Laurie whilst I sat in on his rehearsal with the
English Chamber Orchestra in London. I was studying composition at the London
College of Music at the time. I was so inspired that I went on to compose
a whole series of pieces which pay homage to JB and his music. I'm hoping
to have them per- formed in York sometime next year. |

I appreciate all of John Barry's music.
He is a genius, from his very first work and beyond. There is not a week
that goes by that I don't listen to a piece of music by JB. His music has
been with me through the best and worst times of my life. John has touched
us all with his music! May he continue to do so for years to come. |

When you've had a bad day at the office,
don't take a headache tablet, take a JB film score. It's so much better
for you. JB is so innovative and always led the way. Long may it be so.

In the 1970s, I wrote a few articles on
the Bond series for "The Composer;" a publication of The John Barry Appreciation
Society; and for "Bondage," a Bond "fanzine." They were the work of an enthusiastic,
though musically naïve, 18-year-old, but I did get some good responses at
the time. He remains my favorite film composer. |

During the period 1964-72, I don't think
there was a better composer on the planet. The rich and varied output of
Barry during this period was unmatched. I enjoy his current work, but that
was his golden age. Barry's detractors who only know him from his current
work need to understand how incredible he was during that period. |

I think that John Barry is quite simply
the greatest ever film music composer. His music is so touching, entertaining
and influential and yet though he's well known he is still so underrated.
He must rank as one of the most important musical figures of the past 50
years and has profoundly influenced his own and several other genres. Long
may he continue... Oh and he should receive a knighthood! |

Unlike many other composers, JB is able
to do so many different works. If you listen to "The Whisperers," you wouldn't
think that it had been written in the 1960s, while some of his other works
deal with popular music of the day. While music in movies has lost much
of its style since the advent of talkies, JB hasn't! His contemporary works
sound as good as those he wrote decades ago. |

| Additional comments |
Barry's other scores to the Bond films are great, but the movies became cartoons after On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Born Free, Black Hole, Quiller Memorandum, Out of Africa all top-notch scores. Barry's musical palette is like no one else's. His voicing is wide open and his chord changes are sweet. Who else would have thought to put a major 7th chord in the music of the Middle Ages? |

No other composer has created music that
stirred my soul, inspired such profound personal reflection, or moved me
to the emotional depths John Barry's music has these past forty plus years.
Memorable excerpts from his film scores, far more than the popular songs
on radio, have become the soundtrack of my life. |

I first heard Barry at age 12. I Didn't know what I was listening to at the time, just knew it was pretty. The tune was in my head for YEARS, coming in and going out. I bouight my first album at age 13, Thunderball, and have been buying them ever since. I finally heard Quiller Memorandum, and recognized what I had heard so many years ago. Proof positive that my love for his music was instinctive, not learned. He writes music that makes one feel like being a better person, or creating something very beautiful, ones self. I have never heard a Barry piece that was not enjoyable |

John barrys arrangements are sublimely beautiful
big yet very suttle and extremely magestic. Everytime one heard a john barry
score notably moonraker or you only live twice it was as if you've just
opened the gates of heaven and are now flying through its corridors towards
the creator on eagles towards the creator. Beauty on another level that
is from another world |

I've collected JB's music for years mainly
trying to get hold of a copy of The wrong box (now got 2) so ended up with
lots of other JB albums, Singles and CD's. His music has a unique signature
and deserves the highest recognition. A truly magnificent composer who will
always be a delight to listen to. Thanks J.B |

I remember JB being interviewed on BBC R2 by John Dunn, who 'threatened' to play one of his JB7 vocals. To Dunn's amazement JB said if he did that he'd walk out!! I understand the embarassment - I too get a slight cringe when playing them! Other than that 53 years of constant musical pleasure following the career of a total musical genius. Rest in Peace John, you will be greatly missed. |

I have visited Hong Kong twice and am strangely

I am a songwriter and I'm looking forward to studying his music much more

John Barry is my favorite composer. His
music is still a big part of my life. I have yet to hear music from another
composer that affects me as deeply, emotionally, as John Barry's. Listening
JB 's music is like being in heaven. My dream is to meet him. I would like
to tell Mr Barry how much his music had helped me after my boyfriend’s death. |

I got hooked in the mid-60s, bit by bit.
First it was the Bond scores, then other spy scores, then came Great Movie
Sounds of JB, so I got those soundtracks and so on. Deadfall, Midnight Cowboy
and the Lion in Winter had a huge impact, as did OHMSS and The Last Valley.
The Dove is very underrated. I love the very "British" chase music in The
Wrong Box and the late night jazz of Petulia. At the time, I thought the
mid-to-late 70s were a dry spell, but in looking back I really enjoy Night
Games, Raise the Titanic, Somewhere in Time. Body Heat is a major score.
I'm very fond of all the musicals and musical films. It will never happen,
but I'd love to hear orchestral suites from Billy, Alice's Adventures (more
than just the 3 ballads), Lolita & Passion Flower Hotel. I wish Americans
would come out on CD--the "Yesternight Suite" is one of my favorites. I
always wondered why JB, in all of his movie theme compilation recordings,
never recorded any of his themes from The Lion in Winter and The Last Valley.
I'm obviously not counting the two pop-jazz recordings from The Lion in
Winter. Finally, my initial attraction to JB's music had a lot to do with
those three CBS compilations in the sixties. The photographs were shadowy,
the packaging dark, and many of the themes, like The Dutchman, King Rat,
The Whisperers, The Ipcress File, and Seance on a Wet Afternoon were stark,
mysterious, and intimate, very much the opposite of the Bond scores. An
attitude, a personality really came through in this music, and I knew I
was listening to a musical voice who had something to say beyond providing
a backdrop to a film. |

in London on 28th September 2006! What a legend! Shame it was for the promotion
of the new Ten Tenors Album as they 'sang' lyrics to Out of Africa and the
John Dunbar Theme from Dances With Wolves which spoiled them slighty. Still,
what a legend. Love the bloke! His music is so emotional and my girlfriend
and I are big fans! |

Additional: Hello, please inform me, if
new Barry CD's are available. I'm also interesting to find contact with
other Barry - fans. Your Bootleg - Side is very interisting, but a good
bootleg is better than a soundtrack which is never official realized. I
hope, John Barry will realize in future many soundtracks from the 60's.
His fans are waiting. (THE WRONG BOX) and others. |

I've lately been quite fascinated with the
way Mr. Barry's score for Zulu combines with the sound effects, the action,
the whole unity of the film and its inertia in movement towards the climax.
I am curious, too, about whether the indigenous music is actually so (the
Zulu marriage song, the war chants and hymns) and if it is authentically
tribal or if he found himself influenced musically in this or another score.
The tribal performances work so well in the film's overall texture and give
his score, which seems to portray the plight of the British garrison, a
poignancy that so well evokes the clash of cultures and the destruction,
chaos and waste that results. |

thank you very much for the music that
u have written. the amount of times that people come up and ask, what's
this piece of music, and i say it's john barry and they go, how. if they
don't know how he is now then there's no point in explaining, well just
say bond and they go oh yeah, i do hope that he puts together a new album
of his own. the beyondness of things was a lovely warm feeling album, and
eternal echos was sweet. calming to the point of frozen. thank u very much
john, i do hope to get to one of your concerts, one day i hope. just waiting
for your book now, a life in music. the website is good. it's nice to see
that someone has put the time and care to a good website. thank you very
much. i will be in touch to find out any new info. |

| Most unusual theme/ST |
barry always seemed to come up with an innovative
and evokative theme especially in his earlier years he seemed to experiment
more. his more recent work has been has been less inspiring yet evokes that
Barry touch that no other composer can offer . he really evokes a mood that
comes from the heart and soul. |
| Other favourites |
lion in winter was a classic score from
Barry. I love early Bond scores my favorite themes from Bond are you only
live twice and on her majesty secret service. Shirley sings goldfinger like
nobody else can |
| Additional comments |
As I mentioned John Barry is a master of
the soul and evoking a mood unlike any other composer working in film. His
mastery of melody and lyrism is what made his scores so powerful. the low
brass and strings with string harmonies and a counter melody that flowed
with the main thematic material so well it drove the drama and flavour of
the movie. |

| Additional comments |
from beginning to present, john barry was and still is a genious, with a great knack and an ear for producing splendid music, not just film scores. "the beyondness of things" is a prime example. it has heart and character of its own. He's been an insperation to many other composers that came after. john barry can turn his hand to any genre; an action film can have plenty of pace, while a sad film is full of sorrow. his score give any film the heart to take it along. The story may be the brain to a film, but his scores are the soul. the thing that has interested me about his music is that he's put his gift to any media, films,advertisements and tv. i particularly love the themes that have more than one to the title or end title, like chaplin for instance, or raise the titanic. it manages to add to the film's greatness. i can honestly say that i love his music with a passion, and probably will until the day i die. |

The valley theme from The Last Valley first
awakened my deep and lasting appreciation of John Barry's music. My mother
was a big movie buff, introducing me as a young child to that & other Barry
films like Zulu & The Lion In Winter. Years later I studied cello and sought
out these soundtracks while at college. That was when the floodgates well
and truly opened. I love Barry's signature style of giving the cellos and
harp broken chords or arpeggios, adding a rich extra layer to the main melodic
themes and countermelodies (Frances and Out Of Africa both good examples).
I miss JB's gift of melody in the scores of today ... I'd love him to score
one more Bond to show the others how it's done. |

As a writer for The Hollywood Reporter in
the late '70s, I had the paramount pleasure(s) of meeting John, attending
the premier of "Moonraker, catching up with him the next day at his home
for an in-depth interview; attending the scoring sessions for "Night Games"
and "Somewhere in Time" and found out, first-hand, that John's not only
a world-class talent but a world-class human being. |

nobody does it better than the Barry. David
Arnold is the next best thing tho, and long may he continue with future

Barry, and then gets dissed when he does not sound enough like him. |

Lost my first love of 32 years and almost
my life when she died.
Found a new love and remarried five years ago, a sheltered girl who
didn't know John Barry. What a pleasure to introduce her. It was love
at first sound for her. We have gone to sleep every night of our five
year marriage to the sound track "Out of Africa". I think she loves John
Barry more than me.

Barry's work in the 60's is still a major
part of my listening now. His output then was almost unequalled in it's
sheer joy, energy, and Barry's ear for a heartbreaking chord change. His
gift for arranging then was superb, and his output in film, theratre and
tv commercials constantly surprising and so rewarding on repeat listening. |

I have been a serious collector of film scores since the mid 80's. As a child I remember some of my first albums were Airport 75, Rollercoaster, Superman, Star Wars and others. I do wish record labels would raise the numbers on their limited editions......too many sell out in the first day or two. Probably to speculators who don't even collect film music. |

I've been a fan for over 50 years. I met John in London in the late 60's or early 70's after a concert and was able to say to him how much I admired his music. He was The Greatest Film Music composer ever. |

My Mom owned all the Bond scores, and played
them all the time when I was a baby. I also went to see my first Bond film
at the age of 4. We lived in a small town and the owner of the drive in
loved Bond. He played a double feature almost every weekend. I saw every
Bond film at least 5 times before I was in the first grade! I just thought
they were cool, and JB music is still a big part of my life. Thanks Mom
for Barry and Bond!!! |

its haunting choral arrangements. the black hole and moonraker are top notch
and give us an idea of what star wars or trek would've sounded like had
he been chosen to score them. |

Barry's rearrangement of his theme from
"King Rat", on his 1968 Columbia collection is, for me, the most extraordinary
non-classical music ever written. The arrangement is the most imaginative
that I've heard in modern times. Words can't begin to describe the atmosphere
of this piece. 44 years after the fact, "From Russia with Love" is still
one of the most impressive soundtracks ever produced - the work that proclaimed
JB's genius to the world at large. |
| Additional comments |
John Barry is, for me, the greatest composer
outside the classical realm. And, I'm convinced that if he had been born
100 years earlier, he would rank with Dvorak and Tchaikovsky in the magical
kingdom where melody and rhythm meet in wonder. |

One of my favorite composers, I never miss
any of his albums and hope to see more as the years go on. I notice alot
of his influence in today's composers, but there is only one John Barry.
He is a big influence on my work and his scores are always in my head. |

John Barry is my favorite composer, most
of his songs are simply wonderful. His music makes up part of my daily life.
I can only thank God for being able to live in this world with such beautiful
things--and John Barry is one of them. |

Though I listed Frances as my fav soundtrack,
it is still my favorite score. Dances With Wolves however, is his most diverse
by far. So many different motifs and themes throughout. Too many to name. |

As I write this he has since passed away.
A great loss for those of us who truly loved the man and his music. His
sound was so lush and rich. At the same time he had a very progressive jazz
sound to his music, as he was truly a jazz man. His music shall live forever. |

After years of waiting, now that it's finally
arrived, I just can't stop playing the new re-mastered OHMSS-cd. It still
knocks me cold! Don't get me wrong--I love it, but it's a pity that one
of the tracks from the original CD (say strict-tempo version of the "All
the Time") was left off the new one so that the other cue from the ice rink
scene could be |

I shook the great man's hand & spoke to
him at a signing of The Beyondness of Things at HMV Oxford St., London,
in 1999. He signed 2 albums with my name -- fantastic! I'm certainly no
syncophant except in the case of JB. I saw him in concert in the same year…
absolute dream come true… best concert/gig I ever attended. I bought all
the Bond remastered CD's…they're fantastic with the extra parts from films
that I've only been able to play previously from the videos. |

JB was the first composer I knew by name.
He was my favorite instantly and has stayed as such for 30 years. I wish
he were scoring more, but I'm grateful for the Silva, Varese and Prometheus
releases given us the past few years. Even if his work has developed a certain
sameness, his music is still on-target for films and CDs. |
