The Name’s Bond, James Bond- Secrets About 007

Bassey busts it out

Shirley Bassey’s hit Goldfinger became one of the most popular songs from the James Bond franchise soundtrack. When she recorded the song, the credits were running on a screen in front of her so that she could match the vocals.

When it came to the belting final note, the titles on the screen kept running and Bassey was forced to hold that note until it ended. She may have almost passed out but it made for a smash hit song.
