    This was the theme tune for the 'Bond' film 'Live and Let Die', Paul McCartney and Wings did some great tracks around this time, albums, 'Band on the Run', 'Venus and Mars', the next tracks to check out by him should be' 'Band on the Run' and 'Jet'.

    Paul McCartney was commissioned to do the opening number to the James Bond film, Live and Let Die. Watch the opening of this film with the music. It is very theatrical for a reason. McCartney is extremely versatile. He has also written classical music. Brilliant artist! He adds a lot of pyrotechnics to this song in concert.

    Amber picked up on the theatrical feel of the song.

Paul wrote this in a single afternoon and had it recorded a week later. Just amazing.

      @Wilt Chamberlain is the GOAT It's definitely Billboard hot 100.
      Harrison was the first to do it with MY SWEET LORD, then later with GIVE ME LOVE (GIVE ME PEACE ON EARTH), then much later with GOT MY MIND SET ON YOU.
      Ringo did it with PHOTOGRAPH, and YOU'RE SIXTEEN.
      Lennon did it with WHATEVER GETS YOU THROUGH THE NIGHT, and (JUST LIKE) STARTING OVER.
      And McCartney has done it at least a handful of times, but his first two were UNCLE ALBERT/ADMIRAL HALSEY, and MY LOVE.
      All four would score some close #2s as well as other top 10 hits, and some #1s that didn't count (for example Ringo had another #1 with IT DON'T COME EASY, but it wasn't on the Billboard hot 100).

Never over embellished or added unnecessary fills just to show off. Then take into consideration the amount of musical styles the band covered. He played all of it perfectly. Established a great pocket with a little personal flair. Under rated indeed.

    Theme songs from James Bond/007 movies are almost always big hits made by well-known artists. Think Shirley Bassie/ Goldfinger, Carly Simon/The Spy who Loved me, Adele/Specter, etc. Paul McCartney, a well known hit maker, was brought on to add interest to a movie starring a new James Bond, Roger Moore. Big songs add to the box office sales for movies.

    I remember being so impressed by this song when it came out. Of course I already knew who Paul McCartney was, first a Beatle and now basically the king of pop. This impressed because it sounded great AND because it sounded like it belonged in a Bond movie. It showed that McCartney had an untuitive grasp of musical genres and could move between them pretty much at will, while still putting his own unique stamp on it. If I'm not wrong then this began a trend for most later Bond films to include a pop artist influencing some of the score, but I don't think anyone else ever hit the nail on the head so precisely.

    Took my family to a Paul McCartney concert years ago, and we had my two young nieces with us. They were probably 12 and 10, not paying much attention just fooling around on their cell phones. Then they started playing "Live and Let Die." At his concerts when he says the "die" an explosion of pyrotechnics would go off, and at every strong note emphasis. I'll never forget their eyes went wide immediately, and from that point forward their eyes never left the concert. Circa 2005.

    “I felt like I was sitting in a theater.” In a sense, you were. This was written as the then song to the James Bond movie of the same name (Live And Die). The Bond movies, especially the older ones, are always dramatic and action packed. This song fit the movie perfectly.

    Don't know if you've ever seen ANY of the James Bond movies, but IMHO, "Live and Let Die" was the best one that starred Roger Moore (the second of six actors to play him). Of course, Sean Connery will always be the original, so if you decide to do a James Bond movie, do "Goldfinger". It's a classic.

    By 14 years old Paul was playing 6 instruments very well to rip out melodies and perform. Guitar, bass, drum, piano, trumpet and sax. Of course at 16 he wrote I'll Follow The Sun, When I'm 64, Love Me Do and I've Just Seen A Face. The latter he would play on piano at family gatherings. During the Cavern Club days when the power went out Paul would entertain the crowd on piano. Paul is a modern day Bach and Beethoven with tons of melodies flowing out of him.

"A View to A Kill" (1985) featured a theme song by Duran Duran, starred Roger Moore and featured Christopher Walken as well as Grace Jones. "For Your Eyes Only" (1981), also starring Roger Moore, featured a title track by Sheena Easton who might be a good candidate for "Female Friday".

    Love all of Paul's work with the Beatles & solo with Wings. I had so many of his records. "Band On The Run" is one of the best. But so many other great songs such as "Jet", Live & Let Die", "Listen To What The Man Said", "Silly Love Songs", "Let 'Em In", "My Love", "Helen Wheels", "Let Me Roll It", "Junior's Farm", "Maybe I'm Amazed", "Venus & Mars/Rock Show", "Mull Of Kintyre", "With A Little Luck" etc.

    This tune went with the film of the same name Soooooo well, in fact I feel you could not have one without the other, what a film, and what a tune, they don’t do things like this anymore, it belongs in 1973 but is also just timeless 👌🏼

    This is one of my favourite McCartney songs. I have seen the Bond movie (you two need to react to it, btw!), and when I saw this man in concert (best show ever!), this was the ENCORE!!! This song rocks, and is AMAZING to see live! You totally need to watch the Bond movie to get its meaning!

    The top of my head blows up when I've seen Paul do this in person.😄

    To my knowledge Paul McCartney had the most hit songs after he left the Beatles. That being said, they were all really great.🎉

    Now on your Movie Channel, you'll have to review "James Bond: Live & Let Die" film this was scored for! It's a WILD film. My first time seeing it was in a hotel in 1978 in NYC when my parents took a trip, so I tuned into a channel, and the movie was on it! Unforgettable song and movie!

    You hit it on the head Amber-Paul wrote this for the James Bond flick Live & Let Die. You really need to hear My Love, Band on the run, Uncle Albrert, Listen what the man said & back to his Anazing Beatles gem Here, There & Everywhere & the amazing A Day in the Life. Regarding who had the greatest solo carry it would be Paul McCartney.

    So many instruments at play in this one, too. Love it. And the change-ups!

    The Beatles were an amazing group, obviously, and all four members were extremely talented. For my money, Paul McCartney tops the list. McCartney's vocal range is second to none, and as others have commented he plays several instruments and is a songwriting/composing mastermind!
