The “James Bond Theme” is synonymous with James Bond himself.

Composed by MONTY NORMAN for the first 007 film adventure, “DOCTOR NO” (1962), the theme immediately became a source of controversy with John Barry claiming authorship. John Barry had re-arranged the theme for Dr.No and subsequently went on to compose the music for eleven Bond films, and defined the big-brass sound of the series. Monty Norman fought in court to prove his creation of the theme several times over the years, and is now recognized as the famous theme’s original composer.

Monty Norman passed away at the age of 94 last month (July 2022). In his honour, we present Every "James Bond Theme" heard throughout the series.

Thank you, Monty.
