About the vamp: Barry didn't compose it, but just consider--throughout his eleven scores--just how inventive he was in the countless variations, creating tension, suspense, and as a musical indicator for Bond. He could do such much with any fragment of the Bond theme. He may not have written it, but he owned it the same way that Sinatra owns "My Kind of Town"

February 27, 1962
A writ on behalf of musicians Carlos Malcolm and Ernest Ranglin was served by their representative, Hugh Levy Jr, on Eon Productions. Levy claimed that Malcolm had been engaged to compose music for the film and supervise the recordings, while Ranglin was employed to look after the arrangements. Levy was seeking to recover £1,064.

Fascinating...
Wow. Never heard of them and I certainly never suspected anyone else had been involved in the music. Then again, it looks like Malcolm and Ranglin were musicians with a similar role to that of Byron Lee's - that is, artists in charge of adding a local flavor to the film.

Well the "composing" is the interesting bit. Malcolm and Ranglin settled out of court for £200 according to Jon Burlingame. A good amount of money in Jamaica in the days.
But Carlos Malcolm is still angry about that he was so stupid to sign it away so cheaply.
Still Carlos Malcolm, Ernest Ranglin and a certain John Barry had long successful music careers in their respective fields, where Mr Norman as good as retired post 1963. Your guess is as good as mine.

I've got a couple of Ranglin's CDs. He's a very good guitarist and he blends jazz and ska.
