    Shirley Bassey was on the show, when she performed David Arnold was in the band on rythm guitar.


    Yup, I saw it. Nice song, and nicely performed. By the way: there's a documentary on Bassey tonight on BBC 1.

    Thanks for the reminder beer

    I would expect there to be contributions from the likes of Barry and Arnold.

    Did anyone catch the program Imagine on BBC 1 last night? Shirley Bassey was on great form and David Arnold featured a lot in the program, some great behind the scenes footage of recording the new songs for her album The Performance nicely concentrating on the songs by John Barry / Don Black and Arnold / Black plus Gary Barlow from Take That and Neil Tennent from the Pet Shop Boys.

    Quite an eye opener really. Try and catch it if you get the chance.

    Good programme! Surprisingly revealing. I rather liked the sound of some of those arrangements and it's great to see Bassey still on top form. Nice to see John Barry too. smile

    Do you have the album Tim?

    I had a dream I visited David Arnold at his home last night, and he took me for a drive in his DeLorean. For some reason he decided to put on his own music in the car from Tomorrow Never Dies and started singing like Shirley Bassey.

    I spend far too much time on this forum.

    I prefer the Chris Cornell/David Arnold song. Bassey's voice is not for me...

    • CommentTimeDec 9th 2009
    Oh, I don't agree. I think it's magnificently old-skool!
    And I think she still has a killer voice. It would have been a great crossover/tip of the hat to Bond Before... which I guess may well be the reason it was rejected: the clear reboot and all (even though I'm not sure why they retained the arty title sequence and David Arnold then...).

    Does anyone have the story behind the rejection of dame Bassey?

    Oh, never mind. I just found out this was just a sketch by Arnold. An initial idea for a title song, which he then continued to propose to Bassey well after Quantum Of Solace was released. dizzy

    It wasn't rejected, they just went with somebody popular and cool, and Arnold didn't finish the song he had begun writing.

    I mentioned this about a month ago on another thread.

    Agree with what you say Martijn and the song exudes pure class.

    It's on Bassey's new album ( produced by David Arnold ) called The Performance.

    I'm seriously, seriously thinking about editing that into my Best Of Bond playlist.
    Heck, I have no one to answer to in matters of authenticity than myself, and I'm a bit of a solipsist anyway at the best of times.

    I'm not even thinking about it. That's going straight into my Bond collection.

  25. I'm listening to this number for the first time. When it started I wasn't going to like it. But by the end of it... shocked

    As Martijn says, it harkens back to the older style of songs and it just seeps into your pores.

    Plus it actually fits into the QoS score nicely and it's all based off that little motif. The missing piece of the puzzle has been found.

    Now only if his song for Die Another Day was recorded...

    Did you know Bassey recorded an unused theme song for THUNDERBALL.

    Dionne Warwick also recorded the song with the exact same arrangement and was also unused.

    Yeah, I think you mentioned that before.
    I always felt that Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was more of a secondary theme rather than just another cue. This background info -as Ant already coined the phrase- puts that piece of the puzzle firmly in place,

    I LOVE that Arnold/Bassey song, no matter how many times I've heard it since it was recorded!
    I am extremely serious.
