INTERESTING MUSICAL FACTS: Various people were approached for the song “For
Your Eyes Only” and Sheena Easton was the last person Bill Conti would have
thought of until the producers suggested her. The first version of the song
didn’t contain “For Your Eyes Only” until 3 minutes into the track and title
director Maurice Binder wanted the song to start “For Your Eyes Only”. So Conti

Eyes Only’ after that I don’t care what the words are!”
INTERESTING FILM FACTS: For the first time the singer of the Bond song

return to a more traditional Bond story away from the space –age fantasy. They
were given that with For Your Eyes Only.
