London
(ANI):
Singer
Sir
Paul
McCartney
has
apparently
revealed
that
he
was
not
the
expected
singer
of
the
James
Bond
theme
'Live
And
Let
Die" but
Dame
Shirley
Bassey.
He
said
that
after
he"d
recorded
the
much-loved
theme,
producer
Harry
Saltzman
expected
Dame
Shirley
Bassey
or
someone
else
to
sing
it.
Sir
Paul
told
MOJO
magazine
that
he"d
always
wanted
to
write
a
Bond
theme.
According
to
Macca,
when
Saltzman
heard
the
track,
he
asked
producer
George
Martin,
who
he
planned
on
having
sing
the
'finished'
version,
for
his
opinion.
“He
said,
'That"s
a
great
demo
but
who
are
you
thinking
of
getting
to
sing
it?" He
was
thinking
of
Shirley
Bassey,"
said
Paul.
