George Martin pays tribute to John Barry

Beatles producer George Martin notes the influence of James Bond film composer John Barry, who passed away last weekend.

"You could always identify John's scores. They were very dramatic. They leant themselves to the film in a way that enhanced everything. He was an extraordinary musician - very, very clever.

"Without John Barry there would be no James Bond theme, because the whole essence of that was the excitement, the drama, the orchestration."

Martin, incidentally, produced the theme song of "Goldfinger," sung by Shirley Bassey, which was composed by Barry. Martin also wrote the score of "Live and Let Die," the theme of which was performed by Paul McCartney.

A Ringo Starr videogame

Ringo Starr has filed paperwork to trademark the word "Ringo" for use in videogames, but there's no info as to what the Beatle has planned, if anything.

On January 23, 2011, Starr filed a trademark for "Ringo" under the goods and services description of "computer game software" and "downloadable computer games via the Internet and wireless devices." The mark was also filed under a description for "toys, namely toy vehicles, plush toys…etc."
