Sheena Easton - For Your Eyes Only (1981 James Bond Soundtrack) | Vinyl Preview #80smusic

"Sheena Easton's haunting Bond theme blends romance, mystery, and vulnerability into one of the franchise's most memorable ballads" "For Your Eyes Only" SHEENA EASTON James Bond Greatest Hits (1982) "For Your Eyes Only" is the 1981 theme to the 12th James Bond movie of the same name, written by Bill Conti and Mick Leeson, and performed by Scottish singer Sheena Easton for the accompanying soundtrack album. The song reached number 4 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and number 8 on the UK singles chart. The US band Blondie had previously been asked to write the title song but it was rejected in favour of Conti's by the Bond producers. (Blondie's recording of a completely different song, also called "For Your Eyes Only", appeared on their 1982 album The Hunter). Easton is the only artist (to date) to be seen singing the theme song to a Bond movie during its opening titles, as Maurice Binder liked Easton's appearance and decided to add her to the credits. It remains one of Easton's biggest hits and is included on compilation soundtrack albums. ----- Various – James Bond Greatest Hits Label: Liberty – 2C 068-83238 Format: Vinyl, LP, Compilation Country: France Released: 1982 Genre: Jazz, Rock, Pop, Stage & Screen Style: Big Band, Easy Listening, Vocal, Ballad A1 John Barry – The James Bond Theme 1:46 A2 Matt Monro – From Russia With Love 2:32 A3 Shirley Bassey – Goldfinger 2:47 A4 Tom Jones – Thunderball 3:00 A5 Nancy Sinatra – You Only Live Twice 2:43 A6 Louis Armstrong – We Have All The Time In The World 3:13 A7 Shirley Bassey – Diamonds Are Forever 2:40 B1 Paul McCartney & Wings – Live And Let Die 3:10 B2 Lulu – The Man With The Golden Gun 2:33 B3 Carly Simon – Nobody Does It Better 3:29 B4 Marvin Hamlisch – Bond '77 4:19 B5 Shirley Bassey – Moonraker 3:06 B6 Sheena Easton – For Your Eyes Only 2:58 Pressed By – Pathé Marconi EMI, Chatou – 337658 Pressed By – Pathé Marconi EMI, Chatou – 337823 Made By – Pathé Marconi EMI ℗ 1982 Compilation réalisée par EMI Records Ltd.
