"Blondie's rejected Bond theme delivers seductive new-wave cool and a fascinating glimpse at what might have been"
"For Your Eyes Only"
BLONDIE
The Hunter (1982)
The Hunter is the sixth studio album by American rock band Blondie, released on May 24, 1982.
It was Blondie's last album of new material until 1999's No Exit.
The song "For Your Eyes Only" was originally written for the 1981 James Bond film of the same name.
The producers of the film, however, favored a track composed by Bill Conti and Michael Leeson and asked Blondie to record that song instead.
When Blondie declined, the Conti/Leeson song was passed on to Sheena Easton. Blondie opted to release their song (written by Harry and Stein) on The Hunter.
