I love it. Your video is great too! I just wish it to get more views. This theme should have been used at the start of the film and the original one that was used at the end!
Phyllys Hyman was a much loved songstress in the R&B/Soul community. She is best known for 1979 hit "You Know How To Love Me". I copied and pasted this from Wikipedia >>> included in four postings because of the 500 character limit
In 2008, an original version of the James Bond theme "Never Say Never Again", which wasn't used in the film due to contractual issues, was released by the track's co-writer Stephen Forsythe. Stephen Forsythe has been quoted as stating:
During the filming of the James Bond movie Never Say Never Again, I co-wrote the title song for the movie with Jim Ryan. Warner Brothers informed our attorney that the song was to be used as the title song in the picture
However, shortly before its release, Warner Bros informed us that the song could not be used because Michel Legrand, who wrote the score, threatened to sue them, claiming that contractually he had the right to the title song. So my song was never released. The legendary Phyllis Hyman was my first choice to sing the song and working with her is one of the highlights of my musical career. I personally auditioned and sang the song to her while she was having breakfast in her manager’s office
After agreeing to sing the song, she arrived at the studio and, without any rehearsal and only having heard the song sung once at the breakfast audition, sang the song in one perfect take. Phyllis sadly took her own life in the early nineties. The year before she died, she called me late one night and told me she felt that "Never Say Never Again" was her best and favorite recording
Phyllis was a real nice person (I knew her - worked with her voice agent). I saw her a few days before she passed. Whenever she came in, we'd make each other laugh. A truly sad ending - an extremely talented woman. Beautiful.
I'm really honored that someone close to Miss Phyllis Hymen commented on this video. My apologies for not responding sooner. I hope my video did justice to her and her song. Sadly the only thing I knew from Miss Hymen back then was her song "Old Friend" which was a hit here in the Philippines back in the 80's which I really like. Thanks to Youtube and internet I'm starting to know more about this beautiful and talented lady.

Great job. PH rendition was definitely better, but that's the politics of the industry.

Thanks for linking to me! I really enjoyed this video, but... how did you do that gunbarrel? It really looks like NSNA-era Sean shooting! :-)

Really love those part of the video. However I also notice you forgot to include Honey Rider emerging from the beach!

I like it. Would love to see the entire movie re-scored by David Arnold and the James Bond theme incorporated into it!
