THE BLOODIEST BOND BATTLE OF ALL
Posted: 27 Jan 2019, 22:02
Subject title above taken from The Sunday Mail (27.01.2019) - a very interesting article which gives a detailed account of the bitter battle between Monty Norman and John Barry about who wrote the James Bond theme - in the end after an antagonistic court case it was decided that Monty Norman wrote the music. I suspect that without Vic Flick's contribution on guitar and John Barry's orchestral arrangement the James Bond theme would not have been not been such a big and long lasting hit it has been (and still is). Mention was made about Vic Flick's fee for his contribution i.e £7 and ten shillings! Well worth a read.
