We are still influenced by them in some way, and when they keep planning new 007 films (and the way the world situation is shaping up) it is hard to this hero and his influence fade away any time soon.Roman J.

An obvious example is the theme for the US release of of the Secret Agent MAn TV show in the 60s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XG-VChTYfOkRichard Bellushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10108081864942272619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801441755423984496.post-32667058494132998522017-08-13T09:35:03.691-07:002017-08-13T09:35:03.691-07:00Barry's sound really did define these films, a...Barry's sound really did define these films, as well as the whole spy genre of the time. Listen to any of the films that came out after "Goldfinger" and they really attempt to capture Barry's style. Some actually do a pretty good job. Ennio Morricone did some great work on Italian spy films. And Barry's influence still remains in the Bond films, especially the David Arnold scores. "The World is Not Enough" is a wonderful fusion of 1990s electronica and John Barry's jazzy and romantic styles. <br /><br />Thanks for commenting!Roman J.
