She does this song justice!

Ok, so why wasn't this song used? There

was a slight 007 motiff in it, was that why?

[OasisEnLaLunna]

@80945367 Wholeheartedly agree. I've loved her for a long time and Whitney Houston's death is bringing back too many terrible feelings that I felt with Phyllis. The curious thing is that part of Phyllis's depression came due to Whitney Houston. She was dropped in 1984 by Arista Records after many attempts by Clive to make her a star so he could focus on launching Whit. Now both are gone :(

I AM HERE THINKING ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL WOMAN AND LISTENING TO ALL OF HER SONGS, SHE LEFT MUCH TO SOON, LETS JUST HOLD DEAR TO OUR HEARTS ALL THE MUSIC THAT SHE LEFT.

This is a nice song. Not sure which I like better. Just mainly how they used it in th emovie I don't like.

[traboe]

i think this one is better than the one they went with...

[TheJlook2000]

think i prefer the lani hall version and thats not a very strong bond theme either. speaking of music has anyone listened to legrand full soundtrack its like something out of a pink panther movie. this film is shouting out for a special edition - new score , adding the action scenes back in -maybe a 30 anniversary release - pending lawsuits of course.

@EarthWindFire82 Much like the whole reason this movie got made, because of a stupid lawsuit. But it was nice to see Max Von Sydow and Sean Connery together.

[MURPHNSPUD]

ps

one take

hmm WHY the suprise? like all we all used 2 pop lite weights

full of backing vocals and autotune = YES

[MURPHNSPUD]

no your not mad @EarthWindFire82 i'd found out that as well

and no matter what anyone sez the 'other NSNA' is just a dull dull song

this AINT!

Should've included this track on the 'Legacy of Phyllis Hyman' compilation cd. It's a hidden gem few people know about...
