An invitation to join Dame Shirley Bassey at the Ritz Casino is not to be ignored - reports The Times. After unveiling her new album, The Performance, we ask the Welsh wonder, 72, if she is ready to return glamour and hummability to that much abased commodity, the James Bond theme tune.

Lois was quite a lady...
Always an adventurous woman, she held a pilot’s licence, regularly went on safari and in the 1980s sailed the South China Sea from Hong Kong to Singapore, armed with M16 machine guns and incendiary rockets to ward off pirates.

For some reason I can’t recall the sound of that song. I’ll have to do a Google on the lyrics.
I believe devolve will link a webpage as he has all the James Bond songs on webpages.

I always thought James Horner should have given a Bond theme song a try.

The John Barry instrumental from OHMSS is one of my favorites. “All Time High” was forgettable. I like Gladys Knight’s “License to Kill” and Sheena Easton’s “For Your Eyes Only”.
While not the best of the movies, Shirley Bassey’s redention of “Moonraker” I thought was really done well, especially the end-title disco version of the theme song. Of course “Goldfinger” is the best IMO.

Yes, VTAK had Walken as "Zorin," who I called "Urine" as a child.
Moore should have been retired after "The Spy Who Loved Me."
Timothy Dalton = Zzzzzzz...

I would’ve taken a roll in the office with Ms. Moneypenny back in the day...

Chris always hams it up but he is a riot. One of his bad girls in the movie was a tall blond that was hot. I am NOT talking about Grace Jones.
Her name is Alison Doody and she is Irish. She looks like Catherine Denuve. Stunning.

Moore should have been retired after "The Spy Who Loved Me." I actually think his best work was "For Your Eyes Only." Then he should have retired.

We’re never going to get them all in if we keep posting over one another, LOL!

I enjoyed For Your Eyes Only, although it had Bond basically acting the part of pedophile.
BTW: Thanks for mentioning FYEO. Now I will have the Sheena Easton theme song in my head for a week.

Grace Jones was the first shemale that Bond ever slept with.
