BBC News - Bond composer John Barry dies aged 77:

Composer John Barry, famous for his work on Born Free, Out of Africa and the James Bond films, has died in New York of a heart attack aged 77.

He composed one of my fav Disney scores, The Black Hole. I later found he did it around the same time as doing Moonraker and so both speak the same musical vocabulary in terms of keys, chords, and orchestration, and fit together nicely.

In spite of his many awards, he wasn't perfect. He also did the best forgotten Lone Ranger film from 1981. :)
