since “From Russia with Love” almost two decades earlier. And second, it instantly established an iconic new theme song that was embraced by fans as one of the best in the blockbuster spy series’ history., and written by composer Bill Conti and lyricist Mike Leeson, the song was a worldwide hit, reaching number four on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and No. 8 on the U.K. singles chart.
With her music exploding on the charts in the U.S. and the U.K., Easton’s name was quickly submitted by United Artists as their top choice to perform the coveted theme song to “For Your Eyes Only.” As for her actual vocal recording session, Easton admits there was a lot of pressure involved because Bond producer Albert “Cubby” Broccoli and several film executives showed up at one point and had to be kept from entering the studio. “They sat in an anteroom, and they were anxious to make sure this kid hadn’t screwed up their theme song,” she says. “They wanted to make sure they had bet on the right horse, basically.
In the leadup to the film’s release, Easton found herself on a whirlwind promotional tour with James Bond himself, Sir Roger Moore. Though their encounters were brief, Easton was nevertheless struck by the star’s elegance and charm.
Wow, a great article about Sheena Easton and For Your Eyes Only, both the song and the James Bond movie that came out 40 years ago. 🙂
MatthewChernov Great article Matt, good work man ✌️
Cool except this article fails to mention the song BlondieOfficial wrote for the film, which IMHO is the superior song.

Terminally Ill James Bond Fan’s Hope to Preview ‘No Time to Die’ Before He Passes Goes ViralA James Bond fan with just weeks to live is hoping to preview 007’s latest caper, “No Time to Die,” before he passes. James Millar, a 57-year-old Bond fanatic, live in Bonds Cotta… We hear stories like this so often that I don’t believe it. I’m convinced when a terminally ill person watches an unreleased film, it’sall a form to generate buzz not the act of kindness. Is that a good idea? How about a screening of Skyfall instead? Technically, everyone is terminally ill.
