James Bond Theme Composer Dies Aged 94

British composer Monty Norman, who was best known for the iconic James Bond theme, died Monday at the age of 94, according to a statement posted to his official website.

Norman, born Monty Noserovitch, was hired by producer Albert Broccoli in 1962 to write a theme for ‘Dr. No’, the first James Bond film. His composition has been used in all 25 films featuring the fictional British super-spy.

Norman also wrote songs for stage musicals, including ‘Expresso Bongo’, ‘Make Me an Offer’, ‘Poppy’, and ‘Songbook,’ and composed the score for the 1963 Bob Hope comedy ‘Call Me Bwana’. He even received an Olivier Award and Evening Standard Award in 1979 for his work on ‘Songbook’. However, in a recent comment he acknowledged that the Bond theme would forever overshadow any other achievements.
