I was in England in Nov-Dec 2005. I was on an official visit and was putting up at a official accommodation, where the host was an employee of our co.'s UK division. One day in the morning this song sung by Shirley Bassey - Diamonds are Forever of the 1971 Sean Connery starrer Bond Movie. He was not much aware about the song or the movie. However, he later went to a party the same weekend and told me that this very song was playing out during this party! I like this song a lot- good voice and a certain mystery in the way they show this song. Here follows the link:

it is a great song - Bassey also did the themes for the Bond movies Moonraker and Goldfinger
The theme tune to 007, Goldfinger, performed by Shirley Bassey. For entertainment purposes only, I do not claim ownership or rights of this production. Copyr...

@arthurchappell and that makes the Bond Theme music (something like "Toon Toon Toon Toon ...... ) go inside my head.

@DianneN in this movie, an imposter tries to pursue Bond's path and tells one of the female leads that he is James Bond. He had a fight with the real Bond who kills him, and the female lead says "Oh you just killed James Bond"

There are many good songs artists have written and recorded for the James Bond movies. That's a real good one. Bassey also did "Goldfinger" a song I really liked!
