@overbrookXXX The Ventures was not the original recording .The song was originally recorded in 1955 by the composer & guitarist Johnny Smith. In 1957 Chet Atkins covered the song . A couple of years later in 1960 The Ventures simplified Chet Atkins version and released it as a single.
@Jayshrewla. I DO respect his work. He's one of the top 5 film composers of the last half of the 20th Century. Doesn't alter the fact that he used this riff in On Her Majesty's. The fact that he garnished it with a vastly superior melody and excitingly shifts the entire phrase up and down with the demands of that melody to create a piece more satisfactory than his source entirely vindicates the appropriation.
not a bad version.

The best version of the tune, though I've yet to hear the "modern jazz" version.

For the past 50 years I have thought this is the best version of what was originally a modern jazz composition.

Great music: you don't get this anymore. First class.

No question about who re-arranged the original James Bond theme with some shreddin' surf bass.

And he'd later compose possibly the best movie soundtrack ever, "Dances With Wolves". Who'd have thought?
