Another music legend and Bond alumni gone. RIP - thanks for the funkiest Bond score!

Sad news indeed RIP

I've always loved the LALD score. Sir George was an innovative composer, arranger and producer and the Beatles were fortunate to have had him.

RIP, and best wishes to his family.

Sad news. His Bond score had a lot of great themes, including Solitaire's theme. Overall, a unique and re-playable album.

Yes, I think Bond Meets Solitaire is my favourite track of the LALD score (though the use of the LALD instrumental in "Boat Chase" is a favourite). Sad news and McCartney's tribute incredibly moving.

Agree with all this, though I haven't read McCartney's tribute yet.
