- The composer of the world-famous James Bond song has died.
- Monty Norman passed away on Monday. He was 94 years old.
- The British had to fight for fame for his work in court.
Monty Norman, the author of the world-famous tune at the beginning of every James Bond movie, has passed away. As can be read on the musician’s website, the 94-year-old passed away on Monday after a short illness.
In 1962, Norman wrote the music for “James Bond – 007 Chasing Dr. No”, the first feature film about the famous secret agent. According to his own statement, he used a piece from a musical he wrote as the basis for the now-famous “James Bond feature”, which has never been released. Absolutely displayed.

Not completely satisfied with Norman’s arrangement at the time, Bond producers commissioned composer John Barry to rearrange the subject again. This version became world famous and was heard in modified form in every official James Bond movie, most recently in No Time To Die.
First a singer, then a composer
Monty Norman has twice successfully defended himself in court against the claim that he wrote the piece, not John Barry. Barry composed the soundtracks for eleven 007 films from 1963 to 1987, in which the piece can be heard frequently.
Monty Norman first made a name for himself as a big band singer in the 1950s before becoming a successful songwriter and composer. Born in London, he wrote songs for Cliff Richard and Count Basie, among others, and created numerous shows and musicals for London’s West End.
