John Barry, de man achter de ultieme James Bond score
The most famous of the Bond theme songs, ‘Goldfinger’, was written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley, with music by John Barry. The quintessential Bond theme, ‘Goldfinger’ was brought spectacularly to life by Welsh singer Shirley Bassey, who belts out the warnings about ‘the man with the Midas touch’ in a style that perfectly complements the music and lyrics. In fact, Bassey was to become so closely associated with the song that one of her compilation albums was titled Goldsinger.

Goldfinger
He’s the man, the man with the midas touch
A spiders touch, such a cold finger
Beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don’t go in.
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can’t disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he’s kissed her
It’s the kiss of death from
Goldfinger
Pretty girl beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold.
He loves only gold. Only gold. He loves gold.
He loves only gold. Only gold. He loves gold.
