For some odd reason the intro of this song sounded a little familiar. Michael Kamen wrote it. He also wrote a song for David Sanborn (Lesley Ann) that had a similar opening. Of course the rest of this song is completely James Bond (John Barry) influenced. Great post.
originally i thought this song w as cheesy and 80's but you know anytime the trumpets blair out in that james bond-y her way, i get goosebumps, really cool!
''Please don't bet that you'll ever escape me...once I get my sights on you. I got a license to kill and you know I'm going straight for your heart. I got a license to kill anyone who tries to tear us apart..." I think, if a woman said that to me, I'd be freaked out...because i'd assume she was psycho... :P
It´s mighty song ... and mighty movie ... very thrilling ... and Timothy Dalton is sooo good Bond, beside that .. i love roger, george lazenby and timothy dalton, all those classics who didn´t get as much respect as they need .. sean and brosnan were bit models and a bit overrated ... that´s why i support these 3 guys ... greets brothers
This fantastic theme music was just another overlooked aspect of one of the absolute best movies of the entire series. Dalton was an outstanding Bond.
he could easily play the role again today. he just needs to dye his hair black and they'll remove his wrinkles by either makeup or digitally erasing them. the latter of which would probably be more effective.
This song represents a part of who I AM. Some may understand me, some may not. But this song says a lot about the way a person lives. I see myself pulling up in an Aston Martin One77 (For those who are aware of this this car). For those who are not, I'm pulling up in the Aston Martin Vanquish S while playing this song dressed and equipped with a License To Kill.
Ive been spending hours going over the Barry/Bond music.Bassey,Sinatra,Aha,Duran Duran,Jones,Turner............Some comes so close but not near her.......Ms. Knight you are the greatest Bond girl............Peace
The reason for Lady Dame as #1 may not seem obvious, but it's easy once you put the pieces together. She is the one singer all other Bond theme singers measure their standards to. There is a reason why she is the only performer to sing THREE Bond movie themes.
Redux: 10. On Her Majesty's Secret Service-John Barry. 9. Tie - Nobody Does it Better-Carly Simon; For Your Eyes Only-Sheena Easton 8. Tie-View to A Kill-Duran Duran; Man With The Golden Gun-Lu-Lu; Goldeneye-Tina Turner. 7. Diamonds Are Forever-Shirley Bassey. 6. You Only Live Twice-Nancy Sinatra. 5. Moonraker-Shirley Bassey. 4. Thunderball-Tom Jones. 3. Live & Let Die-Paul McCartney. saw him perform song at RFK Stadium. 2. Licence to Kill-Gladys Knight- Saw her perform song in Las Vegas.
Top Ten Bond Songs IMO 10. On Her Majesty's Secret Service - John Barry 9. The Man With The Golden Gun - Lulu 8. Diamonds Are Forever - Shirley Bassey 7. Tied - For Your Eyes Only - Sheena Easton 7. Tied - Nobody Does it Better - Carly Simon 6. You Only Live Twice - Nancy Sinatra 5. Moonraker - Shirley Bassey 4. Thunderball - Tom Jones 3. Live & Let Die- Paul McCartney 2. Licence to Kill - Gladys Knight 1. Goldfinger - Shirley Bassey
timothy dalton gets such a bad rap as james bond and it's undeserved. he's a superior james bond to pierce brosnan and equally as good as the blond and dashing daniel craig. this theme song is the best james bond theme song and it's gladys knight's masterpiece of all the songs she's ever sang. she was a perfect even if johnny come lately choice. the double whammy was having patti labelle sing the exit song if you asked me too. i loved this movie. it was dark and exciting. dalton is bond
@petercox9 He may not have been the best fit, but he is the best all around actor to have played the part. His interpretation is perhaps as close to the character in the novels as Craig's.
