Description
"If you think in terms of the sixties as a revolution in England, it was music-led. The Beatles led the rock 'n' roll and John Barry led the movie music." - MICHAEL CAINE.
"John's got this facility of writing a tune, a very simple tune and that's the most difficult one to write of all. The one that you think you must have heard somewhere before but you haven't and he's got the gift. It's quite hard to write a simple tune. It's quite easy to write a complicated one." - GEORGE MARTIN.
