On a Friday night, you are probably wanting to go out for a drink so "A view to a kill" by Duran Duran is a good 80s tune to get the weekend started. Written in 1985 for the 14th bond film and the last for Roger Moore, it was the first Bond them to reach number 1 in the US chart. Duran Duran wrote the theme with John Barry, after the band approached the film producer to compose the song. With a 60 piece orchestra, the song was released in May 1985, and earnt the band and Barry a Golden Global for best original song. It was the last song Duran Duran released before the band spilt.
I don't remember anything to do with the film; but I do know that my sister had the single and we used to play it on an old record player that I think my dad bought at a sale for our local bowling club. Happy memories
