In anticipation of 'Skyfall'


I'd forgotten that accomplished film soundtrack composer (and accomplished musician as well) John Barry passed away in 2011.  Among his many, many film scores, he was famous for one particular character's themes:

Bond.  James Bond.

So, looking forward to the release of 'Skyfall', I discovered this YouTube medley of Barry's James Bond work from the John Barry memorial concert.

Grab a bottle of Bollinger and sip as you listen. 

Starting about the 14 minute mark is "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", with some pictures of Tracy Bond (Diana Rigg), including both the sexy fur scene and the heartbreakingly tragic end of the movie.
