Composer John Barry, who won five Oscars for his film work but was best known for his contributions to a dozen James Bond movies, has died. He was 77.
The English-born composer won two Oscars, for the score and the song, for “Born Free” in 1966, and he earned single statuettes for “The Lion in Winter” (1968), “Out of Africa” (1985) and “Dances with Wolves” (1990).

John Barry was an amazing composer. The first time I heard the theme to “The Knack”, it wouldn’t stop playing in my head for days; it was that mesmerizing.
