who sang live and let die in the james bond film
Live and Let Die (song) "Live and Let Die" is the main theme song of the 1973 James Bond film Live and Let Die, written by Paul and Linda McCartney and performed by Paul McCartney's band Wings. It was one of the group's most successful singles, and the most successful Bond theme to that point, charting at No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and No. 9 on the UK Singles Chart.[2][3]
Quantum of Solace (soundtrack) Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse recorded a demo track for the film,[3] but Ronson explained that she was "not ready to record any music" at that time.[4] It was announced Jack White of The White Stripes and Alicia Keys would collaborate on "Another Way to Die", which is the first duet in Bond music history, on 29 July 2008.[5][6] They had wanted to work together for two years beforehand.[7] The song was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee; White played the drums while Keys performed on the piano.[8] The Memphis Horns also contributed to the track.[7] White's favourite Bond theme is John Barry's instrumental piece for On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and he watched various opening credit sequences from the series for inspiration while mixing the track.[8]
