Acts that Sang James Bond Theme Songs 1. Duran Duran (“A View to a Kill”) 2. Carly Simon, “Nobody Does It Better”, _The Spy Who Loved Me_ 3. Shirley Bassey - _Goldfinger_, _Diamonds Are Forever_, and _Moonraker_ 4. Paul McCartney and Wings, _ **Live and Let Die** _, the first Bond theme song nominated for an Academy Award for best original song. It reached #2 on the US charts in 1973. 5. Nancy Sinatra (“You Only Live Twice”) 6. Sheena Easton, _ **For Your Eyes Only** _ 7. Rita Coolidge (“All Time High,” from _ **Octopussy.** _… and _ **Ted** _!) 8. Adele (“Skyfall”, from Skyfall) 9. Tom Jones (“Thunderball”) 10. Lulu, _ **The Man with the Golden Gun** _ 11. Sheryl Crow, “Tomorrow Never Dies” I think we should give a shout-out to John Barry. He may have never _sung_ the James Bond Theme. But he composed it and played it in a dozen Bond movies. ---
