Taikomochi 1,136 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I'd never really been familiar with the Bond scores as none of them really interested me, but I was reading on Wikipedia(the best source of info, I know!) and it mentioned about how Monty Norman claimed to have written the theme and even got damages from the courts because he had not received credit.I had always thought it was John Barry.So I guess what I'm asking is, what is the general consensus here about who wrote it? Or has it since become a known fact about who wrote it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryant Burnette 654 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Monty Norman wrote it.However, it is John Barry's arrangement that made it one of the best-known pieces of music of the century.So really, I'd say Barry's contribution is just as significant as Norman's.
