Sheena Easton was making a big name for herself in 1981 with songs like “Morning Train (Nine To Five)” and “Modern Girl”, and United Artists (the distributor of the James Bond franchise at the time) took notice. This song would be the title track of the James Bond film of the same name.

The song would be a huge hit for Easton, hitting #4 for four weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, and even getting an Academy Award nomination.
