Yes. She's his daughter.

GOLDFINGER was my fav. the most hated was the one Paul McCartney did? and Wings, which one? "Live and Let Die"...Just didn't like that one.

You took that right out of my head.

Shirley Bassey doing Goldfinger just reeks Bond.....James Bond.

McCartney makes me ill. I don't like anything about him.

My fave is A View To A Kill followed by Live And Let Die. I am a rocker. Honorable Mention are The Spy Who Loved Me, Skyfall and Goldfinger.

Whenever Bond music is mentioned, the first name that comes to mind is Shirley Bassey. Perhaps it is because Connery is, to many fans, the only true Bond. That being so, Goldfinger and then Diamonds are Forever, done by Bassey, stand out.

My own personal favorites, in this order:

1. Sheena Easton / For Your Eyes Only 1981 - "For Your Eyes Only"


Sheena Easton - For Your Eyes Only (HQ) - YouTube

2. Rita Coolidge / Octopussy 1983 - "All Time High"


Rita Coolidge - All Time High (The Theme Song From Octopussy) 1983 - YouTube

3. Carly Simon / The Spy Who Loved Me 1977 - Nobody Does It Better"

I think that's true uglyblackjohn. My favorites;
Dr. No (number one being the first film).
Goldfinger
Live and Let Die

Just thought I'd add the Bond girls (then and now)

Not just because they're probably my two favorite Bond films but I'm going with Nancy Sinatra on 'You Only Live Twice', it has such an ethereal quality to it. The other is Shirley Bassey on 'Diamonds are Forever' for the exact opposite reason. Very powerful as she repeats the line 'Diamonds are forever, forever, Diamonds are forever . . .

I'm with you on this!
I also liked Nobody Does it Better and For Your Eyes Only.
Ironically, I really like Adele but I only lasted like 5 minutes into the movie and stopped watching because the stoopid agent didn't continue to shoot after missing the bad guy and hitting Bond.

Nobody Does it Better Than You

Skyfall
