crocodile 8,012 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 It is also worth mentioning that out of all of the Bond songs that were written by non-film composers, Turner's GoldenEye this is still one of the most iconic and memorable. Yes, it might be a bit more pop but has the kind of charismatic energy that Shirley Bassey had. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm partial to The World is Not Enough. And Surrender isn't a title song. And the original post specified "non-film composers". With all those carve out's, Bono and The Edge's Goldeneye performed by Tina Turner is tops. I'm glad that it's gotten more love over the years. It wasn't all that popular back in the day.

I saw Tina Turner 30 years ago this summer. She was Amazing live. But the concert experience was less than fun. An August night in Little Rock is a night of hellish heat and humidity.
