Oozing drama, danger and kitschy sensuality, Welsh singer Shirley Bassey sang the Goldfinger title track and set the tone for the next 50-plus years of Bond themes. It wasn’t until the third Bond film that the gauntlet was truly thrown. No, boasted the first appearance of the iconic, oft-imitated surf guitar Bond theme music - but no major pop hit. The next one, From Russia With Love, found English pop singer Matt Monro crooning the title track, but again, it wasn’t all that memorable. Sure, the Star Wars score is peerless, but each Bond film brings with it the excitement of a major pop star recording a new song suited for the 007 series. More than any other film franchise, the long-running James Bond series has a rich musical history.
