The sequence was re-filmed with Sean Connery for *Thunderball* (1965) and then George Lazenby, Roger Moore (twice) and Timothy Dalton for use at the start of their James Bond films. Maurice Binder also edited and compiled many theatrical trailers for the James Bond films 1962-1989, and filmed special sequences for teaser trailers with actors Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton.

LYRICISTS

A handful of lyricists have made significant contributions to the James Bond films, often writing more than one song for different films in the series throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Whilst later songs were written by the vocalists’ usual lyricist (and limited to one film), many of the early compositions were collaborations between the composer and prolific stage/screen songwriters. Their contribution deserves special recognition, and selected lyricists are pictured below.


Lionel Bart (1930-1999) ‘From Russia With Love’ Written by Lionel Bart From Russia With Love (1963) Song heard on a radio in the film and performed over the end titles	Leslie Bricusse (1931-2021) Pictured above (left) with Shirley Bassey and Anthony Newley (1931-1999) ‘Goldfinger’ Lyrics by Leslie Bricusse & Anthony Newley Goldfinger (1964) ‘You Only Live Twice’ Lyrics by Leslie Bricusse You Only Live Twice (1967) Leslie Bricusse also wrote the lyrics for ‘Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang’ originally intended as the title song for Thunderball (1965). First recorded by Dionne Warwick on September 4, 1965, and then by Shirley Bassey on October 12, 1965.	Don Black (1938- ) ‘Thunderball’ Lyrics by Don Black Thunderball (1965) ‘Diamonds Are Forever’ Lyrics by Don Black Diamonds Are Forever (1971) ‘The Man With The Golden Gun’ Lyrics by Don Black The Man With The Golden Gun (1974) ‘Surrender’ [End titles] Music by David Arnold & David McAlmont Lyrics by Don Black Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) ‘The World Is Not Enough’ Written by David Arnold & Don Black The World Is Not Enough (1999) ‘Only Myself To Blame’ [unused end title track sung by Scott Walker (1943-2019)] Written by David Arnold & Don Black The World Is Not Enough (1999)

The song was also released as a CD single [pictured above] and reached #39 on the UK chart. The CD also included a new recording of Monty Norman's ‘The James Bond Theme’ by David Arnold. The pair also appeared in the music video for ‘Diamonds Are Forever’ directed by American photographer and music video director Rocky Schenck. David Arnold produced ‘Shaken And Stirred’ in 1997 which reimagined James Bond title themes with an eclectic group of international artists. After meeting with David Arnold and hearing some of the tracks on his upcoming album of James Bond covers, composer John Barry recommended him to producers Barbara Broccoli & Michael G. Wilson to score Tomorrow Never Dies (1997).

Original recordings featured in the James Bond films

Over the years several pieces of re-recorded classical music have been incorporated into the incidental soundtracks of the James Bond films, including Marvin Hamlish's use of by Bach’s ‘Air On The G String’ and Mozart’s ‘Piano Concerto No. 21’ in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). Hamlish also incorporated the ‘Theme from Lawrence of Arabia’ (1962), composed by Maurice Jarre, into his score - although more as an ‘in-joke’ to highlight the on-screen action. Jarre's ‘Lara's theme’ from Doctor Zhivago (1965) is also heard when Major Anya Amasova (played by Barbara Bach) opens a music box transmitter in the pre-credit sequence of The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), so could actually be considered as part of the narrative as well as an ‘in-joke’. None of these pieces are credited in the film. Classical music also featured in Moonraker (1979) - with Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale) playing Frederic Chopin's ‘Prelude Op. 28, No. 15 (‘Raindrop’) on the piano at his Californian Chateau; and and excerpt from Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky's ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is heard on the soundtrack as Jaws (Richard Kiel) meets Dolly (Blanche Ravalec) after the cable car crash on Sugar Loaf Mountain in Rio de Janiero. These two pieces were re-recorded by the orchestra in Paris as part of the recording sessions for the film. The score also uses an original recording of the ‘Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka’ by Johann Strauss II during the gondola/hovercraft scene in Saint Mark's Square in Venice; and a hunting horn plays the distinctive first three notes of ‘Also sprach Zarathustra’ (op. 30) by Richard Strauss [associated with Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968] at Drax's estate as he tests Bond's shooting skills. This brief cue was also part of the Moonraker recording sessions in Paris, and can now be heard on La-La Land Records 2024 expanded and remastered edition of the Moonraker (1979) soundtrack.

John Barry's re-recording of Elmer Bernstein's ‘The Magnificent Seven Theme’ heard in Moonraker (1979), and later use of the Gidea Park 1980 cover version of ‘California Girls’ in the pre-credit sequence of A View To A Kill (1985), were interpolated into the background score and not diegetic sounds heard as part of the narrative. However, their appearance was significant enough to justify an inclusion in the end credits of the film.

Composer David Arnold also used the 1979 song ‘London Calling’ by The Clash on the soundtrack of Die Another Day (2002) when Sir Gustav Graves (played by Toby Stephens) parachutes into the Capital in front of Buckingham Palace. The song was also credited at the end of the film.

The performances listed below are all diegetic sounds heard in the film rather than just original recordings included as part of the soundtrack. These recordings are played by characters in the respective films and heard as part of the narrative. There were also several other pieces of music heard in the films and over the end credits, including three recordings by Jamie Cuadra in Quantum of Solace (2008), and incidental music in Spectre (2015) such as the use of ‘New York, New York’ [heard on 009's in-car CD player in the Aston Martin DB10 stolen and driven by James Bond (Daniel Craig)]. Several original recordings can also be heard during the scenes in Jamaica and Cuba in No Time To Die (2021), and are credited at the end of the film. These are more diegetic background music (including the Reggae songs heard in the Jamaican nightclub) rather than actually part of the narrative. Similarly Simon Greenway's performance of ‘It Had To Be You’, heard at the Carver Media Group Network party in Hamburg in Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), is more background atmosphere rather than a piece of music essential to the plot.

*Geoff Love (1917-1991) was a prolific arranger and composer of easy listening and pop versions of classical and film themes. He became famous in the late 1950s, playing under the pseudonym of ‘Manuel and The Music of The Mountains’. In 1975 he also recorded ‘Big Bond Movie Themes’ for the Music for Pleasure label in the UK. Featuring re-recordings of the James Bond title themes from Dr. No (1962) to The Man With The Golden Gun (1974) [and including Burt Bacharach's ‘Casino Royale’], the album was originally issued with a sleeve painted by British artist Tom Chantrell (1916-2001), responsible for many memorable film posters including several for Hammer films. He also painted posters for many of the Carry On films including Carry On Spying (1964), the poster for which was very similar to the Renato Fratini artwork seen on the UK quad-crown poster for From Russia With Love (1963). EON Productions objected to the similarities and the poster was ultimately slightly amended. EON also objected to the album sleeve for ‘Big Bond Movie Themes’ as it infringed their copyright of Roger Moore's image from posters painted by Robert McGinnis. The album was later re-issued with amended artwork which also revised the pictorial representations of Ursula Andress, Sean Connery and Telly Savalas. Tom Chantrell is probably best-remembered as the artist who painted the iconic Style-C poster for Star Wars (1977) that was later adopted as the quad-crown poster for the UK release. This is the only Star Wars poster to feature the likeness of Peter Cushing.
