John Barry: 15 facts about the great composer
11. Out Of Africa
Barry won the Best Original Score Oscar and Golden Globe awards in 1985 for Out of Africa. It is the perfect example of a composer managing to capture pictures in sound; it’s music in the key of savannah. In 2005, the American Film Institute ranked Barry's score at no. 15 on their list of the greatest film scores.
