MONTY NORMAN DEATH NEWS😭#deathstranding #shortvideo

The composer, best known for writing the "James Bond Theme," died July 11 at the age of 94. Born in London, Norman began his career as a singer before starting to write tunes for stage musicals, including Expresso Bongo, which was turned into a 1959 film, and Belle or the Ballad of Dr Crippen. Bond producer Cubby Broccoli was impressed by Norman's work on the latter and asked him to compose the score for the inaugural film in the Bond franchise, 1962's Dr. No. Part of that commission, the "James Bond Theme," would become among the most instantly recognizable pieces of music in Hollywood history. "Quite often these days people come up to me and say, 'Oh, you're the man who wrote dum-diddy-dum-dum,'" Norman later said. "They don't even sing the melody! But everyone seems to know what they mean!"
