“Many of the songs in this list are ’Rock’ songs, but for those who love the James Bond Movie Series, the theme song from ’Goldfinger’ as performed by the powerful vocalist, Shirley Bassey, and written by John Barry, Don Black, Anthony Newley And Leslie Bricusse should definitely be included in this best song list. To this day, few other artists have attempted this song because they simply can not match Shirley Bassey’s powerful rendition.”
