James Bond Theme Songs

With the opening of Quantum of Solace this past weekend, we thought it an appropriate time to visit James Bond theme songs. Each of the 22 Bond flics has had a theme song, usually with the same name as the movie itself. Quantum is an exception, as the title song is "Another Way To Die" by Jack White & Alicia Keys. Shirley Bassey is the only artist to perform a Bond them more than once, and she's done it three times, for Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, and Moonraker. The only Bond song to hit #1 in the U.S. was Duran Duran's "A View To A Kill." Two Bond songs have been nominated at the Academy Awards for Best Song: Sheena Easton's "For Your Eyes Only" and Carly Simon's "Nobody Does It Better."
