A fond farewell to John Barry, the great soundtrack composer, who has passed on at age 77. The man won five Oscars and created some of the most iconic scores Hollywood has ever heard, none moreso than 1967's "You Only Live Twice" (an orchestral hook later used to good effect on English pop star Robbie Williams' 1998 hit single "Millennium"). All I can say is that heaven's soundtrack just got a lot more elegant.
