The new James Bond movie is about to hit us. what it will be is a good guess, but one thing is for sure (I think): The theme music will be the one we know. Where did it start? Wiki: The “James Bond Theme” is the main signature theme music of the James Bond films and has been used in every Bond film, starting with Dr. No in 1962. The piece has been used as an accompanying fanfare to the gun barrel sequence in every Eon Productions Bond film except Casino Royale (played fully, instead, at the end of that film). The “James Bond Theme” has accompanied the opening titles twice, as part of the medley that opens Dr. No and then again in the opening credits of From Russia with Love. It has been used as music over the end credits for Dr. No, Thunderball, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, The World Is Not Enough, Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, and Spectre. In 2008, the original recording of “The James Bond Theme” by The John Barry Seven and Orchestra on the United Artists label was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The piece is 60 years old! And it is still one of the most recognizable and great things. That is a record!
