Description
The Music of James Bond by Jon Burlingame is a fascinating exploration of the cinematic soundtracks that accompany Ian Fleming's iconic Agent 007. This book delves into the surprising real-life drama behind the music, revealing previously undisclosed tales and anecdotes. From the creation of the now-famous "James Bond Theme" in Dr. No to the trend-setting scores of John Barry for Goldfinger and Thunderball, Burlingame provides a wealth of information on each Bond film's soundtrack. The book also examines the evolution of the Bond sound over the decades, including the impact of synthesizers, disco, and modern electronica techniques. New interviews with key figures in the Bond songwriting and composition process, combined with extensive research, bring to light fascinating stories of how artists like Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones, and Madonna turned Bond songs into chart-topping hits.
