I was reading the chapter on YOLT in Jon Burlingham's book. About the multiple takes with Sinatra and the necessity to do a cut and paste job because she couldn't produce a single decent take.John Richards quote that 'she didn't have the voice for it' is spot on. A pity that one of the most beautiful Bond songs has such a poor performance. Bassey was unavailable, I think, because of the rejection of her version of Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. They would have done better IMO with maybe Dusty Springfield,Julie Rogers, Kiki Dee or Dionne Warwick. Of course the main thing was the Sinatra name and the fact she had had recent big hits. They were never going to dump her.
Nah, seriously:
1. Nobody Does It Better
2. Goldfinger
3. You Only Live Twice
Love the classics which is why On Her Majesty's Secret Service is a close second but this was just so hard hitting and powerful and it matched the film perfectly.
1. Skyfall
2. You Know My Name
3. Moonraker
4. A View To A Kill
5. Never Say Never Again
6. Diamonds Are Forever
7. License to Kill
8. Die Another Day
9. We Have All The Time In The World
10. On Her Majesty's Secret Service opening theme
I'm going with FRWL. Yes, the instrumental opening titles. Awesome sound recording and it really captures the feel of that early world of James Bond espionage
Exactly! With Nancy Sinatra singing
Also ranks very high for me. #5 out of 23
Sheryl Crow's song is not half bad. I don't think her voice works well for that song is the problem. But it's certainly not as bad as a lot of folks credit it for. I even think Another Way to Die would have been decent if Alicia Keys didn't sing on it.
