3) Live And Let Die – Paul McCartney &Â Wings
Recommended Videos
It’s entirely possible that Paul McCartney’s best non-Beatles song also happens to be a Bond theme, proof that the position of Bond theme curator can bring out the best in musicians looking to make their mark on the iconic franchise. “Live and Let Die” is a thrilling, short burst of a pop-rock piece that incorporates a few different sounds in just its three-minute run.
There’s the slightly threatening 70s rock influence to begin, followed by the John Barry-esque instrumental, the jaunty reggae-influenced mid-section, and finally, the plaintive piano and vocals combo that wouldn’t have sounded out of place on The Beatles’ Let It Be album.
McCartney and Wings made a mini epic out of this tune.
