Shirley Bassey was considered for 'Live And Let Die' theme song

It's one of the best-loved James Bond themes but Sir Paul McCartney says that after he�d recorded Live And Let Die in 1973, producer Harry Saltzman expected Dame Shirley Bassey or someone else to sing it.

Sir Paul tells MOJO magazine that he�d always wanted to write a Bond theme.

But according to Macca, when Saltzman heard the track, he asked producer George Martin who he planned on having sing the �finished� version.

Says Macca: �He said, �That�s a great demo but who are you thinking of getting to sing it?� He was thinking of Shirley Bassey.�
