Another track I’m waiting to hear a suitable edit for. ‘Live And Let Die’ was the theme song to Roger Moore’s first film as James Bond, and one of the best. Off the top of my head, I don’t think any previous Bond theme had enlisted a rock band at the peak of their powers to provide similar musical backing. Anyway, Sean Connery had finished his shift with ‘Diamonds Are Forever’, which used Shirley Bassey for the second time, so I imagine this was seen as a break from the past in more ways than one. It’s a great piece of work from a great band who effortlessly straddled the pop and rock worlds. Also, another masterclass in songwriting from Sir Paul, instantly memorable and very influential.
