Nancy Sinatra - You Only Live Twice - James Bond Theme

This is my favorite Bond theme song.



Nancy’s version was actually the second one auditioned. The first version by British singer Julie Rogers is shown in the link below. Apparently, Nancy Sinatra was very nervous doing such a big production, but she pulled it off with some help.

Note that Roald Dahl wrote the screenplay, based on Ian Fleming’s book.
