The Spy Command, a blog about James Bond and other cinematic spies, reports that Vic Flick, the electric guitar player who performed on the original James Bond Theme in Dr. No, had died.
Vic Flick, who played electric guitar on the original 1962
recording of the James Bond Theme died this month, Yahoo! Movies said, citing a Facebook
post by his son Kevin. He was 87.
The theme, which
debuted in Dr. No, was written by Monty Norman and arranged by John Barry.
Norman earned royalties for the theme. Barry’s work on Dr. No led to 11 scoring
assignments on Bond films. He became a famous movie composer who won five Oscars (none for his Bond work).
