[@generalilbis]

@@TracyTame I think the reason is that Barry developed the original orchestration based on Monty Norman's work. Like how movies will have credits for both the original story and the script version used for filming. So...Barry gets credited because he took Norman's original composition and fleshed it out enough that it wasn't just Norman's work alone.

[@jamesfeldman4234]

Although the screen indicates that John Barry wrote the signature Bond Theme song, Monty Norman actually wrote and composed the "James Bond Theme" and received royalties from 1962 until his death in 2022. Norman collected around £600,000 in royalties between 1976 and 1999. John Barry, however, did make an enormous contribution to the Bond Theme song, with his stunning orchestral arrangement, and, of course, Barry went on to compose--as well as arrange--other Bond songs. And guitarist Vic Flick's electric guitar playing was also vital to the music.
