There’s rarely been a franchise that has had as many elements become synonymous with the films or a character more than James Bond. We all know the famous lines like “Bond, James Bond” and “Shaken, not stirred.” The black tux, the Aston Martin, the girls are all pieces to the 007 persona any movie or non-movie fan can recognize. And more than ever, Bond fans have come to anticipate not just the movies, but also the artists who perform the title song.
We’ve had Shirley Bassey’s “Goldfinger,” “Diamonds Are Forever,” and “Moonraker,” Duran Duran’s “A View To A Kill,” Nancy Sinatra’s “You Only Live Twice,” Paul McCartney’s “Live and Let Die,” Tina Turner’s “GoldenEye,” Carly Simon’s “Nobody Does it Better,” a-ha’s “The Living Daylights,” Sheena Easton’s “For Your Eyes Only,” Madonna’s “Die Another Day,” and now, ahead of the arrival of Skyfall starring Daniel Craig on November 9, Grammy® winner Adele can be heard singing “Skyfall,” which is now available on iTunes.
