It became a secondary theme for the Bond films, being used throughout the series, primarily during action scenes. Barry used seven beats throughout the "007 Theme". "The John Barry Seven" had pop chart hit with a cover version of Elmer Bernstein's theme to The Magnificent Seven that included seven beats repeated throughout the theme.
" 007 Theme", not to be confused with the " James Bond Theme", is an adventure theme composed by John Barry in 1963 for the Bond film, From Russia with Love. WLS (AM) used the theme in the mid-1960s for their secret agent radio serial "The Wild Adventures of Peter Fugitive" that appeared on "The Art Roberts Show". It was heard in the On Her Majesty's Secret Service film trailer. The briefest of "James Bond themes", this composition started off the "Opening Titles" music of From Russia with Love. The piece has been used as an accompanying fanfare to the gun barrel sequence in every Eon Bond film before Casino Royale. The " James Bond Theme" is the main signature theme of the James Bond films and has featured in every Eon Productions Bond film since Dr. Two Bond songs have won the Academy Award for Best Original Song: " Skyfall" by Adele and " Writing's on the Wall" by Sam Smith, with the latter also becoming the first Bond theme to reach number one on the UK music charts. Other instrumentals, such as "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", and various songs performed by several notable British or American artists, such as Shirley Bassey's " Goldfinger", Paul McCartney's " Live and Let Die", Carly Simon's " Nobody Does It Better", Sheena Easton's " For Your Eyes Only", Duran Duran's " A View to a Kill" (the first and only James Bond song to have reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100) and Tina Turner's " Goldeneye" also become identified with the series. The best known of these pieces is the " James Bond Theme" by Monty Norman.
The James Bond film series from Eon Productions features numerous musical compositions since its inception in 1962, many of which are now considered classic pieces of British film music.
