The Monty Norman/John Barry James Bond theme couldNot the most beautiful melody, but who doesn't know and respond to...
The Bond tune
Steel guitars...
Not bad, but nothing beats Audrey Hepburn's version. Wonderful song sung by the most elegant beautiful woman of all time.For some reason, probably this one, there's so much feeling in the lyrics and music. As sung by Elton John. Moon River !
It's a beautiful melody alright, but it doesn't get serious consideration because of the many silly rhymes set to the tune. For example:Dvorak's Humoresque is one of those works that people
recognize instantly but unable to identify. In fact there are so
many different but equally effective arrangements of it that
to this day I could not tell which is my preference. The title of
this work would suggest it to be a piece of joyful music. It actually
gives me goose bumps and drives me to tears.
Mancini is mostly known for the catchy tunes he wroteHighly underrated, most of Henri Mancini.
