This song was nominated for an Oscar and a Grammy, but it would end up losing on both accounts. It would the second Bond theme to do so after the song ‘The Look of Love’, which was featured in the Bond parody ‘Casino Royale’.Ĭarly Simon: THE SPY WHO LOVED ME- It was composed by EGOT-winner Marvin Hamlisch who, coincidentally wrote the song that beat out ‘Live and Let Die’ for the Oscar. The track was a hit and ended up nominated for ‘Academy Award for Best Original song’. Paul McCartney & Wings: LIVE AND LET DIE - The 1973 film was the first to bring in the new Bond actor Roger Moore and with him, a shift in theme, setting and a dash of rock. Bassey is a Welsh singer and best known for her career longevity and powerful voice.

If you don’t want to buy a whole compilation album for one new song, you could opt for Eilish’s new theme tune as a ‘ice’ coloured vinyl seven-inch picture disc. No (as performed by The John Barry Orchestra) and ending with Billie Eilish‘s ‘No Time To Die’. This is very simply a collection of all 25 theme tunes, starting with Monty Norman‘s classic ‘James Bond Theme’ from Dr.
Yes, with ‘Bond 25’ due for release at cinemas in November, The Best of Bond… James Bond (no marks for originality) is scheduled for release at the same time. Like death and taxes, a new compilation of James Bond theme tunes, when the next film comes around, is a certainty and the delayed No Time To Die proves not to be an exception.
