Life

Barton was born in Houston, Mississippi and attended Murray State University, and later the University of North Texas College of Music where he was a member of the One O'Clock Lab Band. He went on to play in the Stan Kenton Big Band (trombone and drums). He also composed several compositions and arrangements for Kenton's library.

Barton is known for his horror-esque style of composing in action thriller films. He created the soundtrack to the Clint Eastwood films Play Misty for Me, and the eerie soundtrack to the 1973 film High Plains Drifter.

He died in Brandon, Mississippi at age 64.
