 Spy Who Loved Me, The - Music from the Movies
What Live And Let Die and The Spy Who Loved Me proved, when compared with say Goldeneye and Licence To Kill, is that the principal qualification of a successful John Barry substitute is natural song writing ability combined with a sense of romance about the film's exotic landscapes and love scenes.
It is more important than the ability to score an action or chase scene, and in fact those whose scoring senses are more attuned to the action and suspense than the romance are the less successful.
Though second-best to Barry' better scores of the series, The Spy Who Loved Me is a memorable and melodic James Bond score superior to most other non-Barry efforts.

 The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
James Bond was not prominently featured in Ian Fleming's novel "The Spy Who Loved Me".
Therefore, Fleming, who realized that a direct adaptation lacked cinematic potential, insisted that production company Eon take the title of his work and create a new storyline.
Sure the plot is far fetched to the extreme (an underwater building and a villain looking to repopulate the earth in his underwater city), but it has plenty of charm and is frequently enjoyable.
