INTERESTING MUSICAL FACTS: For the first time in the Bond series John Barry
is not involved in the score or the main title song. Barry regularly fell out

main title song and sent a demo to the producers. They liked the song but wanted
a female to sing it, but were told if they didn’t take Paul McCartney they
couldn’t have the song.
