The Single Greatest Thing In Each James Bond Movie
18. Live And Let Die - THAT Theme Song
In some ways, it's a bit unfair to name a theme song as the greatest part of what is actually a really fun, unique entry into the series but then again, when the song in question is Paul McCartney's Live and Let Die, it inevitably overshadows the rest of the movie.
Live and Let Die is a charismatic, captivating and stunningly cool slice of pop-rock heaven that has become, quite arguably, the most iconic and recognizable Bond theme of them all. It's easily one of the highlights of Sir Paul McCartney's post-Beatles career, and it still stands tall and mighty as one of the finest Bond theme songs ever.
It's a damn shame it lost the Best Original Song Oscar to Barbara Streisand's 'The Way we Were', a song that isn't nearly as good as this one, but that certainly doesn't take away from this song's classic status.
Roger Moore's first outing as Bond is largely successful, and definitely one of the better entries in this rather hit-or-miss era of the franchise, but in the decades since it has undeniably been overshadowed by the song.
