2008-02-14 20:24:46 by bob in Forward to Yesterday
 
...Bassey sings live the song that I guess is Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend rewritten from farce to tragedy. Anyhow, one of the more underrated Bond themes from the most farcically brutal of the Sean Connery Bond films And, finally, a non-Germanic bonus.
