Nobody Does it Better sung by Carly Simon is also a great song.

"For Your Eyes Only" by Sheena Easton
"A View to a Kill" by Duran Duran

Old-timer James Bond fan here...

"From Russia with Love" (both the instrumental by John Barry and the somg by Matt Monro)
"Goldfinger" by Dame Shirley Bassey
"Thunderball" by Tom Jones
"You Only Live Twice" by Nancy Sinatra
"On Her Majesty's Secret Service" ("We Have All The Time in the World") by Louis Armstrong. John Barry's score is probably one of his best.
"Diamonds Are Forever" by Dame Shirley Bassey

Didja know... the original theme song for "Thunderball" was supposed to be "Mister Kiss Kiss Bang Bang", sung by Dionne Warwick? Almost the entire underscore to the film is based on "Mister Kiss Kiss Bang Bang", until Broccoli and Saltzman (the producers) demanded a theme song with the film title in it. And Tom Jones actually fainted singing the long drawn-out end note for the theme for "Thunderball".

I do like most of the rest of the Bond theme songs as well.

#1 songs have little to do with artistic merit.

True.

I think I like Live and Let Die the best. It's hard to choose just one.

I did NOT know that Shirley Bassey had been made a "Dame."
(There is nothing like a Dame, LOL, wrong show)

Sneakin' in a little South Pacific, huh? ;) :) :D

Shirley Bassey was knighted in 2000. However, Dames don't get dubbed with the sword (the 'accolade') like Knights do.

Dame Shirley shows off her K.B.E. (Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire).
